Care & Maintenance
Proper care is crucial for maintaining the performance and longevity of your Ninja StaySharp knives.
- Hand Wash Only: Always hand wash your knives immediately after each use with warm, soapy water. Do not place them in a dishwasher, as harsh detergents and high heat can damage the blades and handles, leading to corrosion or dulling.
- Immediate Drying: After washing, immediately dry each knife thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not allow knives to air dry, as water spots can lead to rust or discoloration.
- Proper Storage: Always store knives in the provided charcoal wood block. This protects the blades from damage, keeps them sharp, and prevents accidental injury.
- Using the Integrated Sharpener:
- Place the knife in the sharpener slot. Ensure the blade is clean and dry.
- Pull the knife firmly through the sharpener towards you, applying light downward pressure.
- Repeat 5-10 times, or until the desired sharpness is achieved.
- Clean any metal shavings from the blade with a damp cloth after sharpening. Only sharpen straight-edge knives (Chef, Slicing, Santoku, Utility, Paring). Do not attempt to sharpen serrated knives or scissors with the integrated sharpener.
