Care for a clean, sharp edge

Hand washing is recommended to protect the edge. Clean promptly with mild detergent, rinse and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Remove acidic food residue after use, and store the knife with its edge protected from other utensils.

Stainless steel is resistant to rust, but food and water should not be left on the surface. Keep the cutting edge away from hard surfaces and other metal utensils during cleaning and storage.
