To preserve the knife's sharpness and quality over time, we recommend avoiding bones and frozen goods. Do not wash the knife in a dishwasher, as this can damage the edge and cause rust, even in stainless steel. Clean the knife with warm water and a mild soap, and dry it immediately to preserve its beauty and function.
Maintenance & use
Never cut into bones or frozen items as this may damage the egg. Always wash the knife by hand and dry it thoroughly immediately.
Please note that both the blade and handle can be seriously damaged and broken if the knife is washed in a dishwasher – this also applies to stainless steel and wooden handles.
