Cleaning Rinse the knives with hot water before using them for the first time. Protect your knives by cleaning them immediately after use (with mild detergent). Then rinse the blade with clean water and dry it carefully with a soft cloth. Especially after cutting acidic foods, you should rinse your knives immediately.
