Use and Care

Mindful Cutting

While Taski knives are renowned for their ease of sharpening and flexible blades, it’s crucial to exercise caution when it comes to cutting hard objects, such as bones, to preserve their pristine edge. To ensure longevity and performance, always use a cutting board and refrain from using them on unforgiving surfaces like metal or stone, as these can lead to blade chipping and a loss of sharpness.

Maintenance

・Gentle Hand-Wash Only
Preserve Taski’s beauty by avoiding dishwashers.
Hand-wash it with care, to ensure its longevity.

・Swiftly Dry
To keep your knives in pristine condition, please promptly wipe away any moisture after cleaning.
