Maintaining your Global knife

Cleaning : Although the knife is made of stainless steel, we do not recommend cleaning it in the dishwasher. High temperatures and aggressive detergents can damage the steel. Wash the knife by hand and dry it immediately to extend its lifespan.

Regular Sharpening : Use a whetstone or ceramic sharpening steel to maintain the sharpness of your knife. This will help you keep cutting effortlessly and precisely.

Proper storage : To optimally protect your knife, we recommend storing it in a knife block, on a magnetic strip or in a special knife cover. This prevents damage and extends the life of the blade.

Use the right surface : A high-quality cutting board made of wood or plastic will help to keep your knife sharp. Hard surfaces such as glass or stone can dull the blade faster.
