Tips for Best Results
- Cut with a forward or backward slicing stroke. Chopping straight down onto the board dulls a thin edge faster.
- Keep the edge away from bones, frozen food, hard nuts and hard cheese. If the blade catches on something hard, free it with a forward-and-back motion; twisting it sideways can chip or bend the edge.
- Cut on wood or plastic. Glass, stone, marble and tile surfaces damage the edge.
Care
- Wash the knives and shears by hand with warm water and a mild detergent, and dry them right away. Global advises against the dishwasher.
- Hone the straight-edged knives on the ceramic rod regularly, and sharpen them on a whetstone at 10 to 15 degrees when the rod no longer restores the edge. Do not hone the serrated bread knife.
- Clean the ceramic rod with warm soapy water and a scourer if it discolors from metal residue.
- Return each knife to the block clean and dry to protect its edge.
