Sharpen Your Damascus Knives Routinely

• For home cooks using their knives daily, sharpen every two to three months for optimal performance
• Use a whetstone with a grit range of 1000 to 8000 for the unique layered steel construction

• Maintain a consistent angle of 15 to 20 degrees for a sharp and even edge

Handle Your Damascus Knives with Care
