How to care for the knives?
No knives belong in the dishwasher or put in the sink. After use, dry the knife with a cloth and store it in its place, on a shelf, on a stand or in a sheath. Not in the drawer with the other knives.
The knives are designed for cutting on a wooden or plastic cutting board (except for bamboo cutting boards which dull any knife very much). We don’t cut the knives or hit them with a mallet or anything like that. If we treat the knife correctly, it will reward us with a very durable blade and thus a joyful preparation of food in your kitchen.
Stainless steel blades:
Corrosion-resistant steel does not require any special care, it is sufficient to wipe such a knife dry after use and store it in its place.
Carbon steel blades:
Carbon steel is susceptible to corrosion so these knives should be wiped dry immediately after use, especially on acidic foods, and occasionally lightly coated with table oil and wiped with a napkin. Over time, the knife develops a natural, unique patina, which preserves the knife and makes it more resistant to corrosion.
Handles
If your hands feel dry on the surface after a while, it is ideal to coat them with an oil designed for contact with food, linseed oil is a good choice. Rub the hand, let it soak for 10-15 minutes and then wipe properly, for example with a paper towel.
