Use

• Always use caution when handling sharp objects.
• Avoid cutting on hard surface such as stone, metal or glass.
• It is not advisable to use any knife but a meat cleaver to cut through bone or frozen food, as other blades can be easily damaged.

Care

• Hand-wash with warm water and mild detergent. Rinse and dry immediately.
• Avoid cleaners containing bleach or citrus extracts.
• Sharpen as needed. With regular use and honing, knives should not need sharpening more than once or twice per year.
• Sharpen knives using whetstone or knife sharpener designed to sharpen at 16-degree angle, or have them sharpened by a professional.
• Store in safe place to protect edges and prevent injury.
