Clean gently. Dry promptly.
Wash kitchen knives carefully by hand using mild detergent and warm water, then dry the blade, handle and joins. Keep the edge facing away from you. Follow the care guidance supplied for the individual product before using a dishwasher.
Give every edge its place.
Put knives away clean and dry, with edges protected in suitable sheaths, holders or an organised drawer. Select a holder that fits the blade dimensions and clean removable storage components according to their instructions.

Can I put every knife in the dishwasher?
Check the specific product instructions. Heat, detergents and contact with other items can affect handles and edges. Gentle hand washing and prompt drying are a practical default.
Is every material maintained in the same way?
No. Blades, wood handles, polymer parts and storage inserts may have different care requirements. Check the instructions for the individual components.
