WARNING
Knife edges are sharp and can cause serious injury. Use extreme caution. Never use a knife for anything other than it’s
intended purpose.
BASIC KNIFE CARE
Avoid placing the knife in or near an open ame or similar heat.
Hand wash only. Do not put the knife in a dishwasher as the constant action, detergent and excessive drying heat will dull
the edge and discolor the handle.
Do not submerge the knife in water for any length of time as it may discolor the blade. If stains occur, a chemical stainless
steel cleaner like Barkeeper’s Friend is recommended.
Knives must be completely dried after washing. Safely store knives so that their sharp edges are not exposed. Edge-Guards
or a storage block is recommended.
Use a steel regularly at a 15° or 20° angle to maintain a sharp edge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ia1lgBp5I9E
Once the edge is no longer sharp, have an expert sharpener re-grind a new edge on your knife or, with a prepaid return
shipping fee, we will sharpen your Messermeister knife free of charge. We do not recommend the use of most pull-
through electric sharpeners.

WOOD HANDLE CARE
In addition to the above suggestions, do not submerge the knife in water for any length of time as it may warp, crack and
discolor the wood handle. Hand-wash with warm water and a mild detergent; rinse and dry immediately.
Oil the wood handle with food safe mineral oil or bees wax regularly to protect and maintain the wood.
Avoid cleaners containing bleach or citrus extracts.
