FAQs
How do I clean the knife?

No, it is recommended to wash the knife by hand to protect the blade and handle.
What is the warranty on the knife?
Warranty information is not available in the product data.
What kind of cutting board should I use?

How do I store the knife?

What is the scalloped edge for?

Troubleshooting
The knife feels dull.
Hone the blade with a honing steel before each use. If honing does not restore sharpness, sharpen the knife with a sharpening stone.
Food is sticking to the blade.
Ensure the blade is clean and dry. Try using a slicing motion rather than a chopping motion. If food continues to stick, the blade might need sharpening.
The blade has rust spots.
Dry the knife immediately after washing. Use a rust remover designed for kitchen knives, and consider a blade oil.
