How should I care for my knives?

We recommend handwashing your knives with mild soap and warm water, then drying  immediately. Avoid dishwashers as the high heat and abrasive detergents may dull your blades and handle and increase risk of rust and corrosion.  Regular honing keeps your blade sharp—professional sharpening may be needed only once a year with proper care.

    Looks amazing, beautiful design, incredibly well balanced and my partner loves them - he says the handles fit his hand perfectly. Purchased for his birthday and I particularly loved they can be engraved with the recipients initials.
