Cleaning kitchen knives properly is essential to maintain their sharpness and prevent cross-contamination. 

1. Handwashing:  We recommend handwashing your kitchen knives, even if they are dishwasher-safe.
2. Use a gentle detergent: Clean the knives with a mild dishwashing detergent and warm water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
3. One at a time: Wash one knife at a time to prevent accidental cuts. Be careful around the blade, especially if it's sharp.
4. Scrub gently: Use a sponge or soft cloth to clean the blade and handle. Avoid using abrasive materials that can scratch the knife.
5. Dry immediately: Dry the knife with a clean towel immediately to avoid mineral spots.
6. Proper storage:  To protect the blades and prevent accidents, store your knives in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or in a knife sheath.
7. Sharpen regularly: Keep your knives sharp by regularly sharpening them with a sharpening stone or honing steel. A sharp knife is safer to use and more efficient in the kitchen. By following these steps, you can keep your kitchen knives clean, sharp, and in good condition for many years.

With its long, slender, and flexible blade, this specialized knife is designed to make precise thin cuts. Here’s when to reach for a fillet knife:

• Thin slices: Its design makes it ideal to filet fish or create chicken escalopes

• Skinning: The fillet knife's flexible blade and thin profile make it easy to separate the skin from flesh.
