Cleaning and Maintenance:

1. Hand Wash Only: Always hand wash your knives in warm, soapy water immediately after use. Do not put them in the dishwasher as the high heat and detergents can damage the steel and handle material.
2. Dry Thoroughly: After washing, dry the knives immediately to prevent rust and corrosion, especially since they have a Damascus steel finish.
3. Use a Soft Cloth: Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth to clean and dry the blade to maintain its finish and sharpness.
4. Store Properly: Store the knives in a knife block, magnetic strip, or protective sheath to avoid dulling the blades or causing accidents.
5. Sharpen Regularly: Keep the blade sharp using a honing steel or have them professionally sharpened when needed. A sharp knife performs better and is safer to use.

Proper care will ensure the longevity of your Plum Chef knives, keeping them in top condition for all your cooking needs.
