FAQs

What does HACCP compliant mean for the handle color?

HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) is a food safety system. Color-coded handles help kitchens segregate knives for specific food types (e.g., white for cooked food, dairy, bakery) to prevent cross-contamination.

Is this knife suitable for left-handed users?

Yes, this chef's knife has a symmetrical blade and handle design, making it fully ambidextrous and suitable for both right and left-handed users.

How often should I hone or sharpen the knife?

Honing should be done frequently, ideally before or after each major use, to maintain the edge. Sharpening is needed when honing no longer restores sufficient sharpness, typically every few months depending on usage frequency and intensity.

Can I put this knife in the dishwasher?

No, the EVER BLADE 200mm Chef Knife is strictly hand wash only. Dishwasher cycles can dull the blade, damage the handle, and compromise the steel's integrity.

What is the difference between honing and sharpening?

Honing realigns the microscopic teeth of the blade's edge, keeping it sharp. Sharpening actually removes metal to create a new, sharp edge when it becomes dull or nicked.

What is the hardness rating (HRC) of the steel?

The steel has a hardness rating of 58 to 60 HRC, which is considered very hard, contributing to excellent edge retention.

Are there other sizes or colors available?

Yes, EVER BLADE offers this chef knife in a range of blade lengths and the handle is available in multiple colors to support various HACCP color-coding systems.

Troubleshooting

Knife feels dull

Hone the blade with a honing steel. If honing doesn't restore sharpness, it may need professional sharpening.

Visible rust spots on the blade

Rust spots usually occur from improper drying or prolonged contact with acidic foods. Gently scrub with a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth, dry immediately, and ensure thorough drying after all future uses.

Handle feels loose

While rare with proper care, if the handle becomes loose, discontinue use and contact the manufacturer for repair or replacement options. Ensure the handle is kept clean and dry.

Difficulty cutting through tougher ingredients

Ensure the knife is properly sharpened. If the edge is compromised, it may require professional servicing. Check for any nicks or damage to the blade edge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This knife is ready for use out of the box. Ensure it is clean before first use.

Compatibility: Ideal for use in professional kitchens, catering services, and demanding home environments. Its color-coding makes it compatible with HACCP-based food safety systems.

Care and Maintenance:

  1. Hand Wash Only: Wash the knife immediately after each use with warm water and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
  2. Dry Thoroughly: After washing, dry the blade and handle completely with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and corrosion.
  3. Honing: Regularly hone the blade using a honing steel (at least weekly, depending on use) to maintain its razor-sharp edge.
  4. Sharpening: Sharpen the knife when it begins to lose its keenness. The Japanese X50CrMoV15 steel is designed for easy sharpening.
  5. Safe Storage: Store the knife in a knife block, magnetic strip, or blade guard to protect the edge and prevent accidents. Avoid tossing it loosely in drawers.
