Avoid cutting hard materials such as bones or frozen foods, as this can damage the blade. Treat your knife with care, and it will reward you with outstanding performance for many years.
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.
