Care
- Washing: Handwash recommended. 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. Avoid scouring pads or abrasive cleaners, as these will scratch the surface.
- Chopping boards: Use wood or soft plastic boards to keep the blade sharp for longest. Avoid glass, stone, metal or very hard bamboo, which can dull or damage the edge.
- Handle care: Periodically apply a food-safe mineral oil to the handle to maintain its colour, wiping off any excess.

A: Crusty rolls, baguettes, tomatoes, lemons, limes and sausages, particularly hard-rinded or tough-skinned foods.
Q: Can it replace a bread knife?
A: For smaller items like rolls it works well, though the larger Signature Bread Knife suits full loaves better.
