Frequently Asked Questions

How often do high performance knives need sharpening?

With proper use and care, quality knives typically need professional sharpening every 6-12 months for regular home use, though this varies based on frequency of use and cutting techniques. Regular honing with a steel rod between sharpenings helps maintain the edge.

Are these knives dishwasher safe?

While some high performance knives are technically dishwasher safe, hand washing is strongly recommended to preserve the edge and prevent handle damage. The high heat and harsh detergents in dishwashers can dull blades and damage handles over time.

What's the difference between German and Japanese style knives?

German-style knives typically feature heavier, more robust construction with curved blades ideal for rocking cuts, while Japanese-style knives are generally lighter with straighter, thinner blades designed for precise slicing. Both styles can offer excellent performance depending on your cutting technique and preferences.

How do I know if a knife set is worth the investment?

Look for reputable manufacturers with good warranties, read reviews focusing on long-term durability, and consider the cost per knife compared to buying quality pieces individually. A worthwhile set should feel balanced, hold an edge well, and include knives you'll actually use regularly.
