To ensure long life and optimal performance, it is recommended to avoid cutting into bones and frozen items. Do not wash the knife in a dishwasher as this can damage the sharpness and cause rust, even in stainless alloys. Clean the knife with warm water and mild soap, and dry thoroughly after use.
Maintenance & use
Never cut into bones or frozen items as this may damage the egg. Always wash the knife by hand and dry it thoroughly immediately.
Please note that both the blade and handle can be seriously damaged and broken if the knife is washed in a dishwasher – this also applies to stainless steel and wooden handles.
