Use

• Always use caution when handling sharp objects.
• Avoid cutting on hard surfaces, such as stone, metal and glass.

Care

• Hand-wash with warm water and mild detergent.
• Rinse and dry immediately.
• Use honing steel regularly to maintain cutting edges of blades.
• Sharpen as needed. With regular use and honing, knives should not need sharpening more than once or twice per year.
• Sharpen straight-edge knives at home using whetstone or knife sharpener, or have them sharpened by a professional.
• Sharpen serrated knife at home using sharpener specifically designed for serrated blade, or have it sharpened by a professional.
• Store knives in safe place to protect edges and prevent injury.
