Use and Care
Cleaning: Carl Mertens Knives are not dishwasher safe and must be hand washed and dried thoroughly after every use.
Handle Care: Carl Mertens Knives are made using oiled European walnut wood. Regular oiling keeps the handle in optimal condition throughout its lifetime.
Honing and Sharpening: Regular honing is necessary to maintain a sharp cutting edge on Carl Mertens Knives. Weekly honing realigns the blade and maintains a sharp edge for longer. For sharpening, we recommend using a whetstone or sharpening steel when sharpening becomes necessary.
Cutting Surfaces: Only use cutting boards made of hinoki, wooden, bamboo, or quality polyethylene to keep Carl Mertens blades in prime condition. Avoid using cutting boards such as china, marble, granite, porcelain, stainless countertops, and glass. These surfaces could cause harm the blade.
