Care
Messermeister knives are not dishwasher safe. Hand wash with warm water and a mild detergent, then rinse and dry immediately, and clean the blade right away after cutting acidic or salty foods such as tomatoes, citrus or vinegar-based items. A serrated edge needs sharpening far less often than a plain edge; have it professionally sharpened when it starts to tear crust.
