Never use harsh cleaners or abrasives to clean your knives as they can damage the blade. Instead, use a mild detergent and a soft cloth.
If your knives are very dirty, you can clean them with warm water and dishwashing liquid. Do not leave the knives in the soapy water for too long and dry them carefully after cleaning.
Avoid using the dishwasher to clean your knives as the harsh chemicals and high temperatures can damage the blade.
Sharpen your knives regularly to keep them sharp. Use a whetstone or knife sharpener for this. Hold the blade at an angle of approximately 20 degrees and carefully sharpen the knife along the sharpening stone.
Store your knives in a safe and dry place, for example in a knife block or knife case. Make sure the blades do not rub against each other and that they are well protected.
