Cleaning
Never use the dishwasher to clean the knife. The aggressive detergent can dull and damage the blade and also affect the handle. Wash the knife by hand in lukewarm water with a mild detergent and dry immediately with a soft cloth. Allow the knife to air dry briefly before storing it safely.
