Care for your knife
Use a steel before every use to help maintain the knife’s edge.
- Use wood or plastic cutting boards.
- Corian, glass, and other hard surfaces can dull blades quickly.
- Clean knives after every use.
Hand wash only. Harsh dishwasher detergent and bleach can harm
fine knives and wooden handles.
Protect blades and hands by storing knives in a LamsonSharp
- KnifeSafe, wooden knife block, wooden knife tray or magnetic strip.
- Use knives only as intended.
Never use a knife as a chisel, screwdriver, can opener, or for any
other purpose that it wasn’t designed for.
Hold sharpening steel vertically on a non-slip base. Hold the
knife at a 20° angle to the steel’s shaft, then draw the knife in
one smooth motion from the heel of the blade to the tip. Repeat
5–6 times on each side. Be sure to use the same number of strokes
for each side.
