Product Usage Instructions
Before Using for the First Time
Prior to the first use of the knife, ensure it has been cleaned according to the provided instructions.
Cleaning
After each use, clean the knife thoroughly to prevent the spread of bacteria. Do not allow the wooden handle to come into contact with water or remain moist for extended periods.
Storing and Using Your Knife
Proper storage is essential to maintain the sharpness of the blade. Avoid cutting extremely hard foods like bones to prevent damage to the edge. When cutting hard foods, move the knife back and forth like a saw instead of rocking it from side to side.
Taking Care of the Wooden Handle
Avoid exposing the wooden handle to water or moisture. Regularly oil or treat the wooden handle to maintain its quality and prevent damage.
FAQ
- Q: Can I use the knife on glass, metal, or ceramic surfaces?
- A: It is not recommended to use the knife on glass, metal, or ceramic surfaces as it may damage the blade.
- Q: How should I clean the knife?
- A: Clean the knife after each use by handwashing it with mild soap and warm water. Do not soak the wooden handle in water.
Before using for the first time
- Wash, rinse, and dry the knife before using it for the first time.
Cleaning
- Knives prefer to be washed by hand. The knife is unlikely to be rendered useless if washed in a dishwasher, but the edge can be damaged and the blade may corrode.
- Wash and dry the knife directly after use. That prevents any risk of bacteria spreading from, for example, raw chicken to fresh vegetables.
- To avoid unsightly marks on the blade, dry the knife immediately after it has been washed. 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 made of glass, metal or ceramics.
- Store your knife in a knife block or on a magnetic strip on the wall. Storing knives in the right way protects the edge and prolongs the life of the knife.
Taking care of the wooden handle
- To best protect the wooden material and increase its natural resistance to moisture, it should be treated with oil approved for contact with food, for example, vegetable oil. Oil once, wipe off any surplus oil and then repeat after 24 hours. Repeat the process when necessary.
- Do not allow the wooden handle to come into contact with water, soak or get moist for a prolonged period.
