In addition, the knives should be placed in a separate container when washing in the dishwasher.

Do not soak the knives and make sure that they are not in an aqueous environment for a long time. Prolonged contact with water can have a detrimental effect on the metal from which the blade is made. After you have washed the knife, dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth.

Keep in mind that knives are kitchen tools that need to be sharpened periodically. Remember that using a blunt knife is contraindicated. This is not only dangerous for you, but can also harm the device itself.
