Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Hygiplas Paring Knife comes ready to use out of the box. To maintain the sharpness of the blade, avoid using glass or granite cutting surfaces, as these materials can dull the edge prematurely; always use a wooden or plastic cutting board. For care, while the knife is dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended to prolong the integrity of the handle grip and ensure the blade stays sharp for a longer duration. Store the knife in a knife block or on a magnetic rack to prevent the blade from knocking against other metal utensils.
