To ensure the knife's long-lasting sharpness and quality, we recommend avoiding cutting into bone and frozen food. The knife should not be washed in a dishwasher, as this can damage the edge and cause rust, even in stainless alloys.
Maintenance & use
Never cut into bones or frozen items as this may damage the egg. Always wash the knife by hand and dry it thoroughly immediately.
Please note that both the blade and handle can be seriously damaged and broken if the knife is washed in a dishwasher – this also applies to stainless steel and wooden handles.
