It is important to protect your knife blades. This way they are
always sharp when you come to use them
When making your choice of knives there are a few things to look out for,
starting with the quality of the stainless steel. All Robert Welch knives are
made from specially hardened, high-quality, German DIN I AI 16 stainless steel
and a Japanese-style ISO angle is applied to the blade edge for superior
sharpness.
The feel, the weight, and the comfort of the knife in hand are important for
ease of use: a specific highlight of the Signature Knife Range.
The construction of the knife reveals its true robustness. a fully forged
knife offers durability and lasting edge retention over time.
PROTECTING YOUR KNIFE
Do Use your Signature knife on only wooden or synthetic boards.
Do Store your knife correctly – preferably in a knife block or specially
designed drawer unit.
Do Sharpen your knife often with our recommended hand-held knife sharpener
Do Lay flat in the tray – not upright in the cutlery basket.
Do not Cut onto metal, stone, glass, or any hard surfaces.
Do not Store loose in a drawer with other knives, cutlery, and utensils. Do
not Allow the blade edge to come into contact with other metal or hard or
sharp objects when loading the dishwasher.
We recommend you sharpen your knife twice a month (or to suit). The edge will
become pushed out of line after prolonged use. This is what causes knives to
become blunt and not perform at the level they are capable of.

CLEANING GUIDE
Signature Knives
Signature knives are dishwasher safe. For best results, we do recommend
handwashing. Follow the product care instructions below to ensure your
Signature knives remain in prime condition.
In the dishwasher
- Ensure your dishwasher settings are as per the manufacturers’ instructions for the water hardness in your area.
- Maintain salt and rinse aid levels.
- Rinse Signature knives to remove traces of food after use, before placing them in the dishwasher.
- Wash stainless steel Signature knives separately from other metals such as silver.
- The best detergents for Signature knives are those free from chlorides and citrus additives.
- Standard dishwasher programs are recommended, there is no need to ‘rinse and hold’ for Signature knives.
- Periodically apply a small amount of mineral oil to the handles of Signature knives to maintain handle color. Remove any excess oil with a cloth.
By hand
- Rinse Signature knives to remove traces of food after use.
- Wash gently in warm, soapy water with a soft cloth. There is no need to soak the knives.
- Thoroughly dry your knives individually.
Hand-held Sharpener
The hand-held sharpener should be cleaned periodically by hand, lifting the
clear guard off to wipe inside using a damp microfiber cloth and drying
thoroughly before replacing the guard. The ceramic wheel can be removed and
washed in the dishwasher.

it can cause injury and damage to the knife. Always handle with care and keep
