Maintenance:
Considering the high carbon steel used for the blade and the extreme construction quality of these knives, we recommend a series of attentions to follow to maintain the quality of the product over time.

- Never put the knife in the dishwasher
- Rinse the knife with warm water before the first use
- Rinse the knife immediately after each use without aggressive dishwashing detergent and dry with a soft cloth (always starting at the back of the cutting edge)
- Aggressive foods such as lemon juice must be immediately rinsed immediately after use
- Do not use glass or granite slabs as a cutting support. Use only wooden bases
- Take care that the blade edge of the knife does not come into contact with other metal objects during its storage to avoid damage to the blade edge.
