To keep a knife in optimal condition, it is essential to take proper care of it by following a few simple maintenance tips, so that over the years your knife stays as good as new.

• Wash knives by hand immediately after use, and avoid prolonged contact with food residue.
• Use a neutral or slightly alkaline detergent.
• Do not use bleach, caustic soda, or detergents containing chlorine or free chlorides, as they corrode the steel and dull its original shine.
• Avoid scrubbing knives with abrasive products or scouring pads, or with metallic or synthetic cleaners.
• Although we do not recommend it, if you use the dishwasher, place the knives blade down, in baskets separate from the rest of the dishes and cutlery, to avoid any rubbing.
• Do not put products with wooden handles in the dishwasher. If you do, it is at your own risk and may void your warranty.
• Do not leave knives submerged in water for long periods, especially in hard or salty water, which can damage the metal.
• Dry cutlery right away with soft, absorbent cloths. A dishwasher drying cycle is usually not enough to prevent corrosion, so finish drying each piece by hand.
• Avoid leaving cutlery inside the dishwasher for too long.
