[Knife Care Instructions]
Care After Use
After each use, clean the knife with a sponge and mild dish soap to remove any dirt or residue. Rinse thoroughly and dry the blade completely with a soft cloth. Store the knife in a dry, low-humidity environment to prevent moisture damage.
Knife Sharpening
Even the highest-quality knives require regular maintenance to preserve their performance. If your knife squashes ripe tomatoes instead of slicing cleanly, or if it slips while cutting chicken, it’s time for a sharpening.
At Kai, we offer a professional knife sharpening service (available for a fee) to ensure you can use your Kai knives with confidence and longevity.
