Troubleshooting
Knife appears dull.
Sharpen the blade using a whetstone or a suitable knife sharpener. Ensure you are using the correct sharpening angle for fine-edge stainless steel blades.
Rust spots appear on the blade.
Hand wash the knife immediately and dry thoroughly. For minor spots, a non-abrasive cleaner may help; for persistent rust, consult the manufacturer's care guide.
Knife slips during use.
Ensure your hands and the knife handle are clean and dry. Use a cutting board on a stable surface. If the handle is damaged, do not use the knife.
