TIPS FOR PROPER KNIFE CARE AND STORAGE

  1. Please do not leave food residue on the knife. After use, wash immediately in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly. The acid and/or fat and moisture of food residue can cause rust and discoloration to the knife.
  2. Please do not put GLOBAL knives in a dishwasher. The harsh environment during the wash cycle will harm the knife and in turn, cause corrosion.
  3. Always store GLOBAL knives in a dry atmosphere. It is recommended to store GLOBAL knives either in a GLOBAL Knife Block or on our Magnetic Knife Rack.
