PRODUCT CARE GUIDE

Product Care Guide – The Knife Store UK

At The Knife Store UK, we understand that quality matters. That’s why every product we sell is crafted to the highest standards, following the strict manufacturing guidelines set by Bradley Stewart International Limited and our trusted retail partners.

To ensure your knife stays in peak condition – and to protect your guarantee – we highly recommend following our expert care instructions. With the right maintenance, your high-quality knife will deliver a lifetime of exceptional performance.

Cleaning & Maintenance

  • Hand Wash Only – Always wash your knives by hand using mild detergent and warm water. Avoid dishwashers, as harsh detergents and high heat can damage both the blade and handle.

  • Dry Immediately – After washing, dry your knife thoroughly with a soft cloth to prevent water spots, rust, or handle damage.

  • Avoid Prolonged Soaking – Never leave knives soaking in water, as it can compromise the integrity of the handle and blade.

Proper Storage

  • Use a Knife Block, Magnetic Strip, or Blade Guard – Proper storage protects the blade edge and prevents accidents.

  • Avoid Tossing Knives in Drawers – This can dull the edge and cause damage to the blade.

Sharpening & Honing

  • Hone Regularly – Use a honing steel to keep the edge aligned between sharpening sessions.

  • Sharpen as Needed – Restore razor-sharp performance with a whetstone or professional sharpening service when required.

  • Avoid Glass or Ceramic Cutting Surfaces – Use only wooden or plastic cutting boards to protect the blade’s edge.

Caring for Special Finishes & Coatings

Some knives, such as Branik non-stick coated blades, require extra care:

  • Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that can damage coatings.

  • Store separately to prevent scratches and wear.

Handle Care

Whether ABS, Pakkawood, or stainless steel, our handles are designed for durability and comfort:

  • Keep wooden handles lightly oiled with food-safe mineral oil to prevent drying or cracking.

  • Avoid exposing any handle to extreme heat or prolonged moisture.

Follow these expert care tips to keep your knife sharp, durable, and always ready for precision cutting.
With proper care, your Knife Store UK products will serve you beautifully for years to come.
