Regular cleaning

It is recommended to wash knives by hand rather than in the dishwasher. The dishwasher can damage the blade and the ceramic coating. Here are our tips:

  • Use warm water and a mild detergent
  • Gently wash the blade with a soft sponge to avoid scratching the ceramic coating
  • Rinse thoroughly with clean water

After cleaning, immediately wipe the knives after washing with a soft, dry cloth to prevent water spots and corrosion. Make sure your knives are completely dry before storing them.

Sharpening

Stainless steel blades must be sharpened regularly to maintain their sharpness. However, sharpening must be done carefully to avoid damaging the ceramic coating.

To sharpen easily without risking damaging your knives, use the sharpener integrated into the wooden block. Avoid electric sharpeners which could be too abrasive for the coating.

To sharpen, run the blade through the sharpener, taking care not to rub the ceramic edge as this can damage it. Work slowly and carefully to avoid damaging the blade.

In conclusion,

Proper care of your Colorama knives will extend their life and ensure optimal performance. By following these simple cleaning and sharpening steps, you will be able to enjoy your knives for many years to come.

Our additional advice

Use wooden or plastic cutting boards, avoid marble, glass or ceramic surfaces which can damage the blade.

Only use knives for food cutting tasks (e.g. opening cans or cutting hard objects).

Inspect your knives regularly for signs of damage or wear.
