Care
- Washing the knives: Rinse to remove food traces, then wash gently in warm soapy water with a soft cloth. No need to soak. Dry each knife thoroughly and individually, and apply a non-abrasive metal polish for the best finish.
- Chopping boards: Use wood or soft plastic boards to keep the blades sharp for longest. Avoid glass, stone, metal or very hard bamboo.
- Cleaning the sharpener: Lift the clear guard off periodically and wipe inside with a damp microfibre cloth, then dry thoroughly before replacing. The ceramic wheel can be removed and washed in the dishwasher to prevent sharpener dust building up.
Questions and Answers
Q: Is it dishwasher safe?
A: No, handwash these knives to protect the blade edge and finish.
Q: What chopping board should I use?
A: Wood or soft plastic boards keep the blades sharp for longest. Avoid hard surfaces like glass, stone, metal or very hard bamboo, which can dull or damage the edge.
Q: How often should I use the sharpener?
A: Regularly, to quickly and easily hone the blades back to their proper edge.
Q: Can the sharpener go in the dishwasher?
A: The ceramic wheel can be removed and washed in the dishwasher to prevent a build-up of sharpener dust, but the body itself should be wiped clean by hand.
