Knife Care
- For best results, hand wash your knives with soap and water and dry immediately.
- Soaking wood handled knives in water can remove the natural oils from the handles.
- DO NOT put knives in the dishwasher. Dishwasher use may cause nicks on the blade edges. Additionally, the heat and detergent may have a corrosive effect on the knives and damage the handle.
- DO NOT cut through bone with knives or use knives to poke, pry, or separate frozen foods.
- DO NOT use knives as screwdrivers or can openers. This is not their intended purpose and can bend or break the blade or edge.
Holding and Using DesignPro Knives
Sharpening Knives
Sharpeners are not for use on scalloped or serrated edges. For optimum performance, knives should be sharpened after every couple of uses. Use a scouring powder after use to clean and remove metal particles from your sharpening steel. After cleaning the steel, rinse with water, dry it thoroughly, and store in a dry place.
- Hold sharpening steel point down on flat, stable surface such as a tale or cutting board.
- Angle knife blade approximately 15 degrees from the sharpening steel.
- Imagine the knife blade is at approximately 11 o'clock and 1 o'clock.
- Pull the knife down and across the sharpening steel in a slight arc, pulling the knife handle toward you. Repeat on the other side of the steel.
- Repeat these steps 8-9 times, alternating the right and left side of the cutting edge.
Customer Reviews
This 8" knife is for much larger projects than cutting potatoes. My first application was cutting up a roasted bird. To give you an idea, I was able to actually just cut the bird in half right down the middle - it is THAT sharp.
It feels good in the hand and is easy to clean. Definitely a great addition to my kitchen.
This Design Pro Chef's Knife is 8" from tip to the end of the cutting edge near the shaft. Read more
