How to take care of your vegetable knives?

If you invest money in a vegetable knife you surely want them to last for ages, so make sure you follow these simple rules for cleaning and storing your knives:

• knives are often dishwasher-safe but we recommend you clean your knife by hand as dishwasher detergents can damage the surface of a steel blade
• if a knife has a wooden handle, do not put it in the dishwasher
• to prevent wooden handles from becoming dry, regularly oil them with linseed oil or beeswax
• store your knives separately so that the blades do not get dull. Use a knife block or a knife case
• sharpen your knives regularly
