Troubleshooting
Knives do not fit snugly in slots
Ensure you are using the knives provided with the set, as the slots are specifically sized. Check for any debris in the slots that might be preventing a proper fit.
Block feels unstable
Confirm the block is on a flat, even surface. Clean the non-slip base to ensure it has maximum contact and grip with the countertop.
Wood elements appear dry
Apply a small amount of food-safe wood oil to the acacia wood sections using a soft cloth. Allow it to absorb, then wipe away any excess. Repeat as needed, typically every few months.
Minor scratches on carbon steel body
For very minor scuffs, a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner may help. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
