Ask any professional chef to name the most important tools in the kitchen, and the answer will most likely be, a good set of sharp knives. Mercer’s top-quality cutlery will make food preparation safer, easier, and much more efficient.
Mercer's knives will remain sharp for a long time. Always use a knife designed for the particular task. We recommend using wood or plastic cutting boards. Hard surfaces (such as marble) blunt knife edges very quickly.
Hold the blade at a 20-degree angle to the steel’s shaft, then draw the knife lightly in one smooth motion from the heel of the blade to the tip. Repeat five or six times on each side of the blade, alternating with each stroke for an even edge.
Speed is not important, so take your time. Be sure to maintain the 20-degree angle, and always keep your fingers away from the blade. After honing, carefully wipe the knife blade with a clean cloth.
The performance of your knife can be diminished if not cared for properly. Please follow these guidelines to maximize the performance of Mercer's knives:
