At CULINA™, we design every knife with precision, performance, and longevity in mind. To ensure your blades remain as sharp and reliable as the day you received them, please follow these usage and care guidelines.
Intended Use
- Meat Preparation: CULINA knives are perfect for slicing through cuts of meat. They are not intended for cutting through bones, frozen foods, or other extremely hard materials.
- Vegetable Preparation: Ideal for slicing and dicing vegetables. Avoid hard cores, seeds, or thick outer shells that may compromise the blade’s edge.
Prohibited Uses
- Do not use your knives as prying tools, scrapers, or for chopping excessively hard items such as nuts, bones, or frozen food.
- Avoid applying excessive force, twisting, or torque to the blade, as this may cause damage or breakage.
Cleaning & Care
- Hand Wash Only: Wash immediately after use with warm water, mild detergent, and a soft sponge. Do not use abrasive scrubbers.
- Dry Thoroughly: Always dry with a soft cloth after washing. Never leave your knives wet, as moisture can lead to rust or staining.
Sharpening & Honing
- Regular Honing: Maintain your edge with a honing rod to keep the blade aligned between sharpenings.
- Sharpening: Use a whetstone or professional sharpening service when needed. Avoid electric sharpeners, as they may damage the steel.
Safe Storage
- Store knives in a knife block, magnetic strip, or protective sheath to prevent dulling and accidents.
- Keep knives separate from other utensils to avoid edge damage.
General Tips
- Use only on wooden or high-quality plastic cutting boards—never on glass, marble, or granite.
- Do not twist or apply sideways pressure during cutting, as this can cause chips or cracks.
- Regularly inspect your knives for wear and address issues promptly to extend their lifespan.
By following these guidelines, you’ll preserve the precision, sharpness, and craftsmanship of your CULINA™ knives, ensuring they remain an essential tool in your kitchen for years to come.
Thank you for choosing CULINA™, crafted with care, designed for excellence.
