The set includes a domestic sharpening steel for regular maintenance. Use the steel before each cooking session by drawing the blade along it at a 20-degree angle.

Hand washing and immediate drying also help maintain blade condition.

Can these knives go in the dishwasher?

If using a dishwasher, place knives in the cutlery basket with blades pointing down for safety and avoid overcrowding which could cause blades to knock against other items and potentially dull the edges.

The ergonomic polypropylene handles are designed to reduce hand fatigue during extended use. The textured surface provides secure grip even when hands are wet or greasy. The handle weight is balanced with the blade to create natural cutting motion and improved control. The comfortable grip allows for precise cuts and reduces the risk of slipping during use.
