Knife Care

Following proper care and maintenance will help prolong the life of your knife and ensure excellent performance.

  • Always keep your knife dry and clean!
  • Hand wash with warm soapy water. No abrasive sponges.
  • Never put your knife in the dishwasher or leave it soaking in water.
  • Dry your knife completely using an absorbent towel. We find paper towels work the best.

Important Information: All stainless steel contains some level of carbon, which is important for sharpness and performance. Because of this, light hueing can develop on stainless steel if not cleaned and dried properly.

Sharpening

A sharp knife is always safer than a dull knife.

When when your knife starts to feel dull, its time to have it sharpened. Learn more about knife sharpening for Town Cutler knives.

Great wedding gifts!

This was the third knife set I have given as a wedding gift. They are always a surprise and are really loved! The couples always tell me it’s our favorite knives we have in our kitchen! They love them! Highly recommend them. I sadly only have one bird beak knife and one of these days I’ll treat myself to a long chefs knife.

Superb paring knife

This Town Cutler knife serves me well in my kitchen daily. It chops, dices, slices and preps whatever fruit, vegetable or other food item I'm prepping. I use it daily and could not function without it. I have numerous other knives in my kitchen which I no longer use since adding this knife and my other 6" utility knife to my kitchen tools. Its cost was a bit much, but I have hundreds of dollars invested in all of my other knives which I no longer use. Sad but true. Glad to have found Town Cutler knives!
