Troubleshooting

Block feels unstable on the counter.

Ensure the block is placed on a completely flat and even surface. Check that the base is clean and free of debris. Ensure all parts of the disassemblable block are correctly reassembled and locked into place.

A knife does not fit securely in a slot.

Verify the knife's blade width and length against the slot size. Try a different slot if available. Ensure no foreign objects are obstructing the slot. For excessively wide or unusually shaped blades, consider alternative storage solutions.

Difficulty disassembling or reassembling the block for cleaning.

Refer to the product manual or visual guides for correct disassembly and reassembly procedures. Some parts may have specific locking mechanisms that need to be engaged or disengaged carefully.

The matte black finish appears scratched or dull.

Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. For minor scuffs, a very gentle, non-abrasive cleaner might be cautiously tested on an inconspicuous area first.
