Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your SHAN ZU knives perform optimally for years, follow these care instructions:
- First Use: Hand wash each knife with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge before the first use. Dry immediately with a clean microfiber cloth.
- Cutting Surface: Always use a wooden or plastic cutting board. Avoid glass, stone, or metal boards, as these will dull the sharp 12-degree edge instantly.
- Cleaning: Never place these knives in the dishwasher. High-heat cycles and harsh detergents can damage the Pakkawood handle and corrode the edge. Always hand wash and dry completely.
- Storage: Use a knife block, magnetic strip, or blade guards to store the set. Storing loose in a drawer will cause the edges to dull upon contact with other utensils.
