About Knife Care
After use, apply a mild detergent to a sponge and wash off any dirt. Rinse thoroughly, wipe away any remaining moisture with a dry cloth, and store the knife in a low-humidity place.

About Sharpening Kitchen Knives
No matter how well-made a knife is, it will gradually lose its performance if it is not properly maintained.

When a ripe tomato gets crushed instead of being sliced cleanly, or when chicken tends to slip and becomes difficult to cut evenly, it is a sign that the knife needs sharpening.
