Product Care

No, we strongly recommend hand washing your knife with mild soap and drying it immediately to maintain its edge and finish.

Store your knife in a dedicated knife block, magnetic strip, or blade guard to protect the edge and ensure safety.

Use a honing rod to realign the edge of your knife. Hold the rod steady and slide the blade across it at a consistent 15–20° angle.

Sharpology knives are designed for precision cutting, not heavy-duty tasks like cutting frozen foods or bones. Use appropriate tools for those tasks to avoid damage.

Professional sharpening is recommended once or twice a year, depending on usage. Regular honing will help maintain the edge between sharpenings.
