How to take care of your knives?
Special-purpose knives are often an investment and if you invested your money in a speciality kitchen tool you surely want this tool to last for ages. Therefore make sure you follow these simple rules for cleaning and storing your knives:
- knives are often dishwasher-safe but we recommend you clean your knife by hand as dishwasher detergents can damage the surface of a steel blade, dry your knives immediately after washing them with a dry cloth,
- if a knife has a wooden handle, do not put it in the dishwasher,
- to prevent wooden handles from becoming dry, regularly oil them with linseed oil or beeswax,
- store your knives separately so that the blades do not get dull. Use a knife block or a knife case if you use your special purpose knife only from time to time and you want to keep it in your kitchen drawer
- sharpen your knives regularly with the appropriate knife sharpener
