Care Instructions
• No metal is completely "stainless". Do not allow acidic foods (lemon, mustard, ketchup, etc.) to remain on the blade after use. This might cause some slight tarnishing. Should the blade show some signs of staining, use a non-abrasive metal polish for cleaning.
• Do not put knives in the dishwasher. Banging against other cutlery or pots and pans will nick the edge. Also, high heat and detergent are not good for the handle.
• Wipe the knife clean with a wet cloth and dish washing detergent. Dry immediately. Dry from the back of the knife to the edge.
• Do not cut through bone with knives (except cleavers). Do not use knives for poking, prying, separating or cutting semi-frozen or frozen foods.
• Do not abuse knives as screwdrivers or can openers. This not their designed purpose and may result in bending or breaking the blade or edge of the knife. Henckels warranty does not cover misuse.
