MAINTENANCE

 

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

 

BLADE

Sharpen your knife on a regular basis.
Keep your knife in its sheath.

Carbon steel and Carbinox T508:

Wash and dry the blade carefully after each use. Oil the blade regularly with unsalted oil such as cooking oil.

Stainless steel:

Wash and dry the blade carefully after each use.

 

HANDLE

Wooden handle:

Products with wooden handles should not be washed in a dishwasher. You can re-apply colourless wood wax to waxed wooden handles if required. If a lacquer-coated handle has been damaged, you can fix it by coating the whole handle again with lacquer. This will avoid dirt from sticking to the handle.

Rubber Handle:

Wash and dry the knives carefully after each use.

Ferrules:

Patinised metal ferrules (such as bronze ferrules) can be cleaned with normal metal polishing agents.

In case of metal coated plastic ferrules (Condor series), we do not recommend washing in a dishwasher, since the aggressive washing detergents and the high water temperature involved may cause the coating to become loose from the ferrule.

WOODEN PRODUCTS

Wooden cutting boards and knife stands are treated in the factory with peanut oil or white oil. Wash the cutting board by hand after use. Moisten the whole board to avoid distortion of the board. Oil the products regularly with oils intended for use with food products to make sure that the features of the product are maintained. Do not wash wooden products in a dishwasher.
