Washing – general care

• Rinse immediately after contact with acidic or salty foods to prevent discoloration or corrosion.

Dishwasher

• Stainless-steel cutlery is dishwasher safe.
• Place cutlery in the appropriate holder, with handles facing downward, and keep knives separated to prevent scratching.
• Avoid mixing cutlery made from different metals to prevent chemical reactions.
• Remove items immediately after the cycle and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water marks.

Pieces with hollow handles and those made with wood, fiber/resin, or PVD coatings may be placed in the dishwasher, following these guidelines:

• Wash at a maximum temperature of 60ºC / 140ºF.
• Use detergent containing less than 10% phosphates.

Knives

• Blades are tempered for superior performance but may oxidize if left wet.
• Wash and dry knives immediately after use.
• Store in a knife block, sheath, or dedicated drawer to prevent dulling and damage.

Maintaining shine & handles

• To restore shine, briefly soak stainless-steel pieces in a solution of 1 part vinegar to 8 parts warm water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.

Wooden handles (such as maple or rosewood):

• Avoid prolonged exposure to water.
• Natural color changes over time are normal.
• Occasionally apply a small amount of food-safe oil to preserve the wood’s tone and texture.

Storage

• Store cutlery in a dry, well-ventilated environment.
• Use dividers, trays, or protective cases to prevent scratches.
• Keep knives protected to maintain sharpness and surface integrity.

Handwashing

• Suitable for all stainless-steel cutlery.
• Use warm water and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive sponges, steel wool, or harsh cleaning products.
