​

Not only the performance of your knife, but also its lifetime highly depend on the use and care of it. We have already covered the most important part of caring for your knife, sharpening. But there are other important things to consider. 

​

• Your knife needs to be cleaned regularly, and there are quite a few do's and don'ts about it. If your knife has a wooden handle, it will need some additional care.

 

• How long your knife will stay sharp and whether you will have chipping on the cutting edge largely depends on your cutting board and which food is being cut.

​

• And there are better and worse ways to store your knives.

​

In this chapter we will explain in depth how to take good care of your knives. You will see that this is quite easy, when following a few simple rules.
