Tips for Best Results

• Let the serrations do the work with long, light sawing strokes rather than downward pressure.
• Cut on wood or plastic. Glass, stone, marble and tile surfaces damage the points of the serrations.
• Do not run a serrated edge over a honing rod.

Care

• Wash by hand with warm water and a mild detergent, rinse, and dry with a towel right away. Global advises against the dishwasher, since the heat and strong detergents can damage the edge and the steel.
• Do not soak the knife or clean it with bleach or chlorine cleansers.
• Do not hone the serrated edge on a rod or draw it through a pull-through sharpener.
