Use Tips

To keep a knife in optimal condition, it is essential to take proper care of it by following a few simple maintenance tips so that, over the years, your knife remains as good as new: 

• Wash knives by hand immediately after use. Avoid prolonged contact with food residues. 
• Use a neutral or slightly alkaline detergent. 
• Do not use bleach, caustic soda, or detergents containing chlorine or free chlorides, as they corrode the steel and damage its original shine. 
• Avoid scrubbing knives with abrasive products or scouring pads, as well as with metallic or synthetic cleaners. 
• Although we do not recommend it, if you use the dishwasher, place the knives with the blades facing down, in baskets separate from the rest of the dishes and cutlery, to avoid any rubbing. 
• Do not use the dishwasher for products with wooden handles; if you do, it is at your own responsibility and you may lose your warranty rights. 
• Do not leave knives submerged in water for long periods, especially in hard or salty water, which can damage the metal. 
• Immediately dry cutlery with soft, absorbent cloths. The dishwasher’s drying cycle is usually not sufficient to prevent corrosion. Finish drying the pieces with a cloth after the cycle. 
• Avoid leaving cutlery inside the dishwasher for too long.
