FAQs
What is the primary benefit of Ice Force technology?
Ice Force cryogenic technology cools the blade to -120°C, which significantly enhances the blade's edge retention and overall durability compared to standard stainless steel.
Is this knife dishwasher safe?
Yes, it is dishwasher safe, but hand washing is strongly recommended to protect the integrity of the blade and ensure the sharpness lasts for years.
What does the 10-year guarantee cover?
The guarantee covers manufacturing defects and material failures under normal household use conditions. Always refer to the official Tefal documentation included with the product.
Can I use this for cutting frozen foods?
No, you should never use this utility knife on frozen foods or bones, as this can cause the blade to chip or damage the edge beyond repair.
What is the best way to store this knife?
Store the knife in a wooden knife block, a dedicated blade guard, or on a magnetic wall strip to keep the blade edge protected.
Troubleshooting
Blade feels dull after repeated use
Use a standard sharpening steel or hone the blade regularly to maintain the edge; professional sharpening may be required after long-term use.
Surface spots appear on the stainless steel
Clean the blade with a specialized stainless steel cleaner or a vinegar-water solution and ensure it is dried immediately after washing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This knife requires no setup; simply remove it from the box and it is ready for use. While the product is officially listed as dishwasher-safe, we strongly recommend washing it by hand with mild soap and warm water immediately after use. Always dry the blade thoroughly before storing it in a knife block or on a magnetic strip to prevent water spots or moisture buildup. To maintain the 10-year warranty, avoid using the knife on glass, ceramic, or stone surfaces, as these materials can cause the edge to roll or chip.
