Knife Care & Maintenance Tips
Make your edge last longer
Hone Regularly
A few gentle passes on a honing rod each week keeps the edge aligned between sharpenings.
Use the Right Board
Cut on wood or soft plastic. Glass, stone and ceramic dull a blade in minutes.
Store It Safely
Keep knives on a magnetic strip, in a block or with a blade guard, never loose in a drawer.
