Care Instructions

1. Hand-Wash Only: Always hand-wash your knives with a soft sponge and mild dish soap after use. Never place handmade kitchen knives in a dishwasher, as intense heat and chemicals can damage the wood and bone handles.

2. Dry Immediately: Wipe each knife completely dry with a clean towel before storing them to eliminate surface water spots.

3. Proper Storage: Store your set safely in a wooden knife block, on a magnetic knife strip, or inside padded edge guards to prevent the blades from bumping into each other.

4. Cutting Surface Safety: Always cut on wood, bamboo, or plastic cutting boards. Avoid glass, granite, or ceramic surfaces, as they will instantly dull the razor edge.

5. Handle Upkeep: The natural bone and wood handles look best when kept dry. Avoid leaving the handles submerged in water. An occasional light wipe of food-safe mineral oil over the handles will keep them shining beautifully.
