Safety warnings: these knives are very sharp—handle with care; keep out of reach of children; use only for intended food-cutting purposes. Care instructions: hand wash with warm water and dry thoroughly with a soft towel after each use; store knives in a dry place protected from moisture; do not wash in the dishwasher to avoid dulling the blade. Sharpening guidance: choose a quality sharpening rod or stone with appropriate grit; hold the blade at about a 20° angle and maintain a consistent angle while making several strokes on each side until sharp.
