Care Instructions
• Wusthof cutlery is dishwasher-safe, but hand-washing is recommended. In the dishwasher, your Wusthof knife may bang against other cutlery or pots and pans and knick the blade.
• Clean knife 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.
