Recommended Handling
Ceramic knives are low maintenance and easy to clean. They are dishwasher safe but care must be taken to ensure that the knife is placed in a safe position so as to avoid damaging the blade. It is recommended that the knives be used on a wooden or plastic chopping board as the ceramic is extremely hard and therefore less flexible than metal blades.
Please adhere to the following instructions to avoid chipping or breaking the blade:
- Do not drop the knife, as this can cause the blade to break.
- Do not use the knife for planing or grating.
- Do not use the knife as a lever.
- Do not twist the knife during the cutting process.
- Do not use to cut frozen goods, bones or fishbones.
If the tip does break off it may still be possible to repair the knife.
