Use Always use caution when handling sharp objects. Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as stone metal or glass. It is not advisable to use any knife but a meat cleaver to cut through bone or frozen food as the blade can be easily damaged. Care Hand-wash with warm water and a mild detergent. Rinse and dry immediately. Use the honing steel only when you feel the knife has lost some of its original sharpness usually no sooner than six months after its first use. As you continue to use your knife it will require more frequent honing. If you need to hone your knife more than once every two weeks it is time to have it sharpened. Sharpen your knife at home using a whetstone or knife sharpener or have it sharpened by a professional. Store knife in a safe place to protect its edge and prevent injury.
