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

- Never place the knife in the dishwasher
- Rinse the knife with hot water before 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 promptly rinsed immediately after use
- Do not use glass or granite slabs as a cutting support. Use only wooden bases
- Pay attention that the cutting edge of the knife does not come into contact with other metal objects during its deposit to avoid damage to the cutting edge.
