Use

• Always use caution when handling sharp objects.

• Avoid cleaners containing bleach and citrus extracts.
• Sharpen as needed. With regular use and honing, knives should not need sharpening more than once or twice a year.
• Sharpen straight-edge knives at home using whetstone or knife sharpener, or have them sharpened by a professional.
• Sharpen serrated knives at home using sharpener specifically designed for serrated blades, or have them sharpened by a professional.
• Store knives in safe place to protect edges and prevent injury.
