Troubleshooting
Knife feels dull
Sharpen the blade using a whetstone or knife sharpener. Regular sharpening will restore its cutting edge.
Stains on the blade
While stainless steel is resistant, some stubborn stains can be removed with a non-abrasive cleaner or by gently rubbing with a paste of baking soda and water. Always dry thoroughly.
Difficulty with precise cuts
Ensure the knife is properly sharpened. Also, practice your technique on a stable cutting board; a dull knife can sometimes make precision more challenging.
