Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before the first use, it is recommended to wash the knife with warm soapy water to remove any manufacturing residue. While the knife is dishwasher safe, it is highly recommended to hand wash the blade regularly to preserve the edge longevity, as dishwasher heat and chemicals can cause premature dulling. Store the knife in a knife block or on a magnetic strip to keep the blade from contacting other metal utensils, which can chip or blunt the edge.
