Expert Care Tips

• Skip the Dishwasher: While technically dishwasher safe, the high heat and harsh detergents can dull the edge and degrade the handle over time. A 10-second hand wash and towel dry will double the lifespan of your set.
• Honing vs. Sharpening: The included steel does not sharpen (remove metal); it hones (straightens the edge). Use the steel weekly, and you will only need to professionally sharpen your knives once every 1-2 years.
