Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your knives in peak condition, follow these maintenance steps:
- Initial Setup: Wipe the blades with a damp cloth and mild soap before first use. Ensure they are completely dry before inserting them into the block.

- Drying: Dry immediately after washing. Never leave knives soaking in the sink.
- Storage: Ensure the wooden block is placed on a flat, stable surface away from stove-top heat sources to prevent the wood from drying out or warping.
- Maintenance: Periodically use a honing steel to realign the blade edge to maintain cutting performance.
