What is covered under this guarantee?
This guarantee covers structural manufacturing defects of all knives in the

our care instructions are followed, the knives will still work as well as they
did during the guarantee period. In this instance, normal use is defined as
using (for cutting food) and cleaning the knife by hand once a day and regular
sharpening. The guarantee is valid for 15 years from the original date of the
first purchase of the product. In order to rely on this guarantee, proof of

out of Online sales order invoice issued by IKEA Hong Kong/Macau is required

will cover:
- Sharpness of the knife. The knife shall be sharp when you buy it and you will be able to keep it sharp so it can function properly, every day. The knife blade is made of a steel that is hardened so that it is possible to sharpen the knife to original sharpness anytime during the guarantee period.
- Durable handle. The handle of the knife should not crack, break or come loose from the blade so that the knife is not possible to use.

in our stores in Hong Kong at the time of replace.
Care instructions
Cleaning
- Always wash the knife by hand.
- Clean and dry the knife directly after use. Doing so will help you avoid unsightly marks on the blade and also prevents any risk of bacteria spreading from, for example, raw chicken to fresh vegetables.
Sharpening and whetting
- A sharp knife is safer to use than a blunt one. Although the knife is made of molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel, which means the cutting edge is hard and durable, you should still sharpen the knife at regular intervals (except for bread knives). Once a week is usually advisable for ordinary household use.
- The sharpener must be made of a harder material than the steel in the blades. For this reason you need to use a knife sharpener made of ceramic, a diamond coated sharpening steel or a whetstone. Never use a sharpener of stainless steel.
- If a knife has become very blunt as a result of long use without regular sharpening or carelessness, you may need to have the blade professionally sharpened to restore its edge.
Storing and using your knife
- Avoid cutting through frozen or very hard foods (for example, bones), because this can cause the edge to bend or shards to loosen in the blade. If you cut into hard foods: Pull the knife back and forth through the food. Do not rock the knife from side to side.
- Always use a chopping board made of wood or plastic. Never cut on a surface of glass, porcelain or metal.
- Store your knife in a knife block or on a magnetic strip on the wall. Storing the knife in the right way protects the edge and prolongs the life of the knife.
All decisions of IKEA HK shall be final.
In the event of discrepancy, the English version shall prevail.
