The hollow-ground pattern of oval indentations on both sides of the blade give the essential chef's knife an extra edge for stick-resistant precision slicing. Also called a cook's knife, this is the all-purpose kitchen workhorse.

• Wipe the knife clean with a wet cloth and dishwashing detergent. Dry immediately. Dry from the back of knife to the blade.
• No metal is completely stain-free. To prevent slight tarnishing, be sure to remove acidic foods (lemon, mustard, ketchup, etc.) from the blade after use.
• If blade should show some signs of staining, clean with a non-abrasive metal polish.
• To prevent irreparable blade damage, it is best to store your knife in a knife block or in-drawer knife tray.
