Care:

Hand-wash stainless steel knives immediately after use with warm soapy water. Dry thoroughly with a towel right away to prevent water spots and corrosion — do not air dry. Never place them in the dishwasher, as high heat and detergents ruin the edge and handle. Store securely in a knife block, magnetic strip, or sheath

Maintenance: Use wooden or plastic cutting boards; avoid glass, granite, steel, and bamboo. Use a ceramic honing rod regularly to maintain the edge.

Do not use for cutting bones, frozen food, or extremely hard items to avoid chipping.
