How to sharpen?

Place the blade at a 20º angle and slide it across all its length, one side and the other with a slight pressure.

After a long time and/or a lot of use, this operation will not be enough to “repair” the cutting power of your knife. So, you will have to go to a specialized store that will proceed with the grinding. This means that almost the entire surface of the blade will be ground, thus gaining a new cutting edge.

How to store?

Store your knives separately. They should be kept in a block to keep the blade from sustaining damage.

Use a wooden block in you kitchen counter and you will have your knifes in reach when needed.

How Maintain your Knives?

After washing, dry them with a cloth and store them conveniently.

Do not use on hard surfaces, use a plastic or wooden board.

Depending on the material of the handle, it might require special attention. If it is wood, you can apply a natural oil from time to time.

Why a colour code?

Red – raw meat
Brown – tubers
Yellow – cooked ingredients
