Knife care tips

After we have professionally sharpened your knives,

we want to help you care for and maintain those crisp edges.

Here are some tips for knife care that will help ensure

that your knives stay sharp for when you need them.

1. Always wash your knife in warm, soapy water, dry with a clean towel and put away right after use.

2. Only cut on plastic or wooden cutting boards. These materials have enough give to help keep your knives sharp. Glass cutting boards kill blade edges because glass is very hard.

3. Use a ceramic honing rod to keep your knife’s edges razor sharp. Hone your knives before each time you use them or when it feels like they’re not very sharp. Over time, you might notice that honing your knives is less effective. That’s when it’s time to get them sharpened

4. Proper knife storage is key. A loose knife in a drawer can get dull or even chipped by banging against other metal utensils and cutlery. Use a magnetic knife block to safely store and access your knives.

5. Please, stop scraping food off your cutting board with the edge of the knife. This will eventually roll the edge and dull your knife Instead, use the spine (back) of your blade to transfer food.

6. Eventually, your knives will need sharpening. We recommend a professional tune-up at least once a year, we recommend you have them sharpened when they start to feel dull.
