To keep your fine cutlery performing at the highest level and to maintain its striking beauty, follow these tips for how to best use and care for your knife.

• Handwash in warm water and towel dry.
• A good cutting board will help retain a sharp edge for substantially longer. Softwoods, such as teak, are preferred.
• Do not cut frozen foods and bones unless it's meat cleaver.
• Never use your knife as a screwdriver or hammer.
• Use a sharpening stone, not honing steel, to re-sharpen your knives.
• It is best to store your blades in a wooden block, in-drawer knife tray, sheath, or knife case. Do not store your knives unsheathed in a drawer.
