Care Instructions
• Wusthof knives are dishwasher-safe but hand-washing is recommended. In the dishwasher, your Wusthof knives may bang against other cutlery or pots and pans and knick the blade.
• Wipe the knives clean with a wet cloth and dishwashing detergent. Dry immediately. Dry from the back of knives to the blades.
• No metal is completely stain-free. To prevent slight tarnishing, be sure to remove acidic foods (lemon, mustard, ketchup, etc.) from the blades after use. If blades should show some signs of staining, clean with a non-abrasive metal polish.
• To prevent irreparable blade damage, it is best to store your knives in a knife block or in-drawer knife tray.
