Care
- Wash by hand after each use with warm water and a mild soap, then dry with a soft towel. Mercer advises against the dishwasher: heat can break down the handle, and caustic detergent can stain and pit the blade.
- Do not leave the knife soaking. If chlorine or bleach touches the blade, rinse it off at once.
- Avoid long contact with aluminum pans or a stainless steel sink, and do not leave the knife standing in condiments held in metal pans. Prolonged contact can cause pitting.
- Store the knife in a block, on a magnetic bar or in a knife guard.
