Maintain a consistent cutting technique with straight blade edge movements for accurate results. After use, wash knives by hand with mild detergent, dry thoroughly and store safely to protect edges and prevent accidents.

Usage recommendations

For prolonged edge life, hone knives regularly and sharpen when required; avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as ceramic or glass and use a wooden or plastic cutting board. Handle G10 grips with normal cleaning and avoid prolonged immersion to preserve the handle finish.
