• Regularly hone your straight fine edge blade.

Gunter Wilhelm offers a hassle-free lifetime warranty covering manufacturing defects. Terms and conditions apply:

• A dull knife requiring sharpening is considered basic maintenance, not a defect.
• Rust spots can occur if the knife is placed in a dishwasher, left in water, or not properly dried. Use a stainless steel polisher cream like Bar Keepers Friend to remove any rust spots.
• Woodblocks, sharpening tools, and blade protectors are not covered as they are subject to normal wear and tear.
