This allows you to cut a large piece of meat in one stroke Knife maintenance: proper sharpening, cleaning and storage are all important knife safety tips Clean your knife as soon as you are done using it to prevent cross contamination Wash your knifes by hand rather than running them through the dishwasher Regularly sharpen and hone your knives to keep the blade sharp Allow knives to air dry completely before storing them Always wash your knives when you receive the shipment because oil is used to keep them safe from rust We recommend a professional tune-up at least once a year, even if you are sharpening at home. If you do not sharpen your own knives, we recommend you have them sharpened when they start to feel dull. A sharp knife is always safer than a dull knife.
