Care and maintenance of knives

For the quality work of a chef, reliable tools and care products are important. Cleaning fluid, lubricant, oils, and much more are necessary to ensure that your knives and tools maintain their sharpness and usability.

What is needed for knife care

The quality of a chef's work is determined not only by how well the dish was prepared but also by how they care for their tools. It's not enough to have gun oil on hand; it needs to be applied correctly to protect the blade and handle from environmental influences.

To care for knives, you will need:

• Gun oil: a universal substance used for cleaning stainless steel blades, wooden handles, rubber inserts, leather, and more.
• Blade lubricant: suitable for use only on the metallic part of the knife, it helps remove food residues and traces of corrosion.
• Storage options: not only the lubricant matters, but also the storage options, which can be in the form of knife roll sets or individual cases.

Before ordering knife care components for delivery, read reviews and select a reputable manufacturer that suits your steel type and handle material.

Knife Care: Basic Rules

To ensure adequate care for not only the cutting edge but also the handle, it's essential to follow several rules.

Knife care should include the following details:

1. All types of knives need to be lubricated every few months of use.
2. Knife blades should always be sharp to avoid danger.
3. After use, the blade needs to be rinsed and dried thoroughly.
4. Individual knife components, especially folding ones, often need lubrication.
5. When in contact with salt or chemicals, the knife should be rinsed and lubricated more frequently.
6. Metal bolsters need to be polished separately until they shine.
