FAQs
Can these knives be cleaned in the dishwasher?
No, it is highly recommended to hand-wash and dry these knives immediately to prevent corrosion and protect the handle rivets.
What does full-tang mean?
A full-tang knife has the metal blade extending all the way through the handle, which provides better balance and structural integrity.
Is the knife block included in the set?
Yes, the set comes with a sleek, minimalist storage block designed to safely house all five included knives.
What is the purpose of the 12.5cm utility knife?
The utility knife is a versatile mid-sized blade, perfect for tasks that are too large for a paring knife but too delicate for a chef's knife, such as slicing small sandwiches or prepping vegetables.
How often should I sharpen the blades?
Depending on usage, you should hone your blades with a sharpening steel every few uses to maintain sharpness, and perform a deeper sharpening as needed.
Troubleshooting
Knives feel dull after regular use
Use a sharpening steel or a manual knife sharpener to realign and hone the edge of the blade.
Spots appear on the stainless steel blades
This is often caused by water residue. Ensure you dry the knives immediately after hand-washing instead of letting them air dry.
Handle feels loose
Check the rivets for debris or damage. If the handle has been exposed to extreme moisture, ensure it is fully dried; otherwise, contact the manufacturer regarding potential manufacturing defects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your KitchenCraft knives remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- First Use: Carefully remove all packaging and wash the knives in warm soapy water, drying them thoroughly immediately.
- Storage: Place the knives back into the designated slots of the wooden block. Ensure the blades are completely dry before storage to prevent moisture buildup in the block slots.
- Cleaning: Hand-wash only using a non-abrasive sponge. Do not place these knives in the dishwasher, as the heat and harsh detergents can damage the handle rivets and dull the steel edges.
- Maintenance: Regularly hone the blades with a sharpening steel to maintain the cutting edge. Avoid using glass or stone cutting boards, as these can quickly dull stainless steel blades; stick to wood or plastic boards.
