• Always use your knives on a wooden or plastic cutting board to avoid blunting the blade. Remove and hand dry the knives when using a dishwasher and the cycle has ended, do not leave them to soak, as this can cause staining. If staining does occur, polish with a soft cloth and a stainless steel polish. Do not immerse the knife block in water, simply wipe with a damp cloth. Sharpening Steel: Position the steel vertically with the handle upright, hold securely over a wooden/ plastic cutting board or other suitable surface, such as a tea towel. Knives are sharpened to approximately a 20° angle. To find this angle, first hold the knife at a 90° angle to the steel, then visually cut this angle in half, moving to a 45° angle. Finally half it again to find an approximate angle of 20°. When sharpening, take alternating passes with your knife across the steel, applying a light to medium pressure. Don't try to dig into the steel, a gentle slicing motion that moves your blade from knife to tip is all you need. Make about 6 alternating passes across the full length of your blades, always give each side the same amount of strokes to maintain an even cutting edge. Do not put the sharpening steel in the dishwasher, hand wash only and dry off excess water as soon as possible.
