Troubleshooting

Most issues with kitchen knives can be resolved with proper care and maintenance.

• Dull Blade: If the knife feels dull, it requires sharpening. Refer to the 'Sharpening' section under Care and Maintenance.
• Rust Spots: Stainless steel is resistant to rust but not rust-proof. Rust spots can occur if the knife is left wet or exposed to corrosive substances. Clean immediately with a non-abrasive cleaner and dry thoroughly. Prevent by drying immediately after washing.
• Loose Handle: If the handle feels loose, discontinue use immediately. Contact customer support for assistance. Do not attempt to repair it yourself.
