Use and Care Hand washing is recommended. In the dishwasher, your Wusthof knife may bang against other cutlery or pots and pans and knick the blade. Clean knife with a wet cloth and dishwashing detergent. Dry immediately, from the back of knife to the blade. No metal is completely stain free. To prevent slight tarnishing, be sure to remove acidic foods (lemon, mustard, ketchup, etc.) from the blade after use. If blade should show some signs of staining, clean with a nonabrasive metal polish. To prevent irreparable blade damage, it is best to store your knife in a knife block or in drawer knife tray.
