To preserve the edge, balance, and longevity of your premium knife, follow these expert maintenance practices:

  • Hand Wash and Dry Immediately: Gently clean with mild soap and warm water, then pat dry with a soft towel. This prevents water spots, corrosion, and warping.
  • Avoid Harsh Cleaners and Soaking: Steer clear of abrasive pads, steel wool, or prolonged immersion in water, which can dull the blade or compromise the handle's integrity.
  • Secure Storage: Use a magnetic strip, wooden block, or sheath to protect the edge and prevent accidental nicks. Never store loose in drawers.
  • Cut on Appropriate Surfaces: Reserve soft wood or plastic cutting boards to minimize edge damage—avoid glass, marble, ceramic, or hardwoods like bamboo.
  • Regular Sharpening: Maintain peak performance with a whetstone (for precision honing), honing steel (daily touch-ups), or guided sharpener as needed. Aim for 15-20° angles based on your blade type.

What is CATRA? The CATRA test is a standardized measure of a blade’s sharpness and durability. The knife is placed in an automated machine and a stack of abrasive cardstock is pressed against the blade. As the blade moves in back-and-forth strokes, the machine measures the depth of the cut as the cutting edge wears away. The higher the total cardstock cut, the better the performance.

Many Can Claim Their Knife Remains Sharp.

We Validate Ours with CARTRA's Rigorous Testing.

Our chef's knife has undergone rigorous testing by the esteemed non-profit CARTRA, yielding impressive results:
