FAQs
Is the Abert City Dessert Knife dishwasher safe?
Yes, it is dishwasher safe, though hand drying is recommended to maintain the high-polish finish.
What does 18/10 stainless steel mean?
It refers to the composition of 18% chromium and 10% nickel, which provides superior rust resistance and a bright, shiny finish.
Can I use this knife for cutting main course items?
While it is designed as a dessert knife, its robust 18/10 construction allows it to cut most standard food items, though a dedicated dinner knife is recommended for tough proteins.
Does the handle become slippery when wet?
The teardrop handle is shaped to provide a secure grip, but as with all high-polish metal surfaces, it should be wiped dry after washing.
Are these knives suitable for commercial restaurant use?
Yes, the Abert City range is manufactured to professional standards, making them highly suitable for the demands of a commercial environment.
How should I store these knives to prevent scratching?
Use individual slots or a cutlery tray with dividers to prevent the knives from rubbing against other flatware.
Troubleshooting
Visible water spots after washing
Wipe the blade immediately with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to remove moisture before it air-dries.
Light surface scratches
Use a professional-grade stainless steel polish designed for high-mirror finishes to gently buff the surface.
Dullness over time
Soak briefly in a mixture of warm water and a small amount of vinegar, then rinse and polish dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Abert City Dessert Knife in pristine condition, ensure it is rinsed immediately after use to remove acidic food residues. While the knife is compatible with professional dishwashers, avoid mixing it with lower-grade stainless steel items to prevent galvanic corrosion. For long-term shine, hand washing with a non-abrasive detergent and soft cloth is recommended. Always dry the knife immediately after washing to avoid water spotting. Store in a partitioned cutlery drawer to prevent contact with other utensils that could scratch the mirror finish.
