Troubleshooting

Knives are not cutting effectively.

Sharpen the knives using a whetstone or knife sharpener. Ensure the blade angle is maintained during sharpening.

Knives have rust spots.

Immediately dry knives after washing to prevent rust. If rust appears, gently scrub the affected area with a rust remover or baking soda paste.

Food is sticking to the blade.

Ensure the flutes are clean. Using proper cutting techniques can also reduce food sticking to the blade.

The scissors feel loose or stiff.

If loose, tighten the screw. If stiff, lubricate the pivot point with food-grade oil.
