To ensure the knife's long-lasting quality, we recommend not washing it in a dishwasher. Avoid cutting hard items such as bones, cartilage, frozen foods and hard cheeses. Please note that thin, hard metal can be brittle, so handle the knife with care.
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.
