About Oneida Cutlery

Cleaning & Care

• Hand wash all cutlery. Do not wash in the dishwasher.
• Always use hot water and a mild detergent or soap to clean. Avoid acidic detergents (e.g. lemon, orange, grapefruit) or highly chlorinated detergents.
• To reduce the risk of marking or scratching surfaces, use a non-abrasive sponge when cleaning.
• Do not leave cutlery to soak in water.
• Dry promptly by hand with a soft, clean towel.
• Due to the high carbon content of Oneida cutlery, moisture left on blades can produce rust spots. This is not corrosion. Easily remove these spots with a non-abrasive cleanser. Do not use steel wool to wash knives.
• To clean cutlery blocks, wipe with a clean, dampened cloth.
• To help preserve a wooden knife block’s luster and to prevent it from cracking over time, apply a wood-safe mineral oil.

Sharpening Instructions

• Hold sharpening implement (honing steel) at an arm’s length away from your body.
• Hold knife by the handle with the tip of the blade pointing upward.
• Move knife blade from the bolster to tip across the honing steel, always pointed away from your body.
• Adjust position of honing steel for optimal control and safety.

Knife Safety Tips

• Handle knives with respect; mishandling can result in injury.
• Use the correct size and type of knife for the job.
• Always hold knives by their handles.
• Never try to cut an item that you are holding in your hand.
• Do not use knives for tasks other than their intended purpose, such as opening bottles, opening drawers, or lifting lids.
• Do not test blade sharpness by running your finger across the blade.
• If a knife drops, do not attempt to catch it.
• As with all sharp objects, keep knives out of reach of children.

About High Carbon Stainless Steel

• High carbon tapered ground blades offer superior cutting performance.
• This material resists rust, stains, and pitting.
