Product specifications Paring knife - No. 112 Article description Paring knife - No. 112 Article number 3123840019135 Country of origin France Putting a sharp knife loose in the drawer is asking for trouble. It is not only dangerous, it also damages the edge of the knife. Therefore, store your knife safely in a knife block, hang it on a magnetic strip or store it away. The knives in this set have a hardness of 57 HRC. This hardness ensures good sharpness retention, but the knife is still easy to sharpen by hand. Dishwasher safe? Like all other knives, using the dishwasher is not recommended. We recommend simply cleaning your quality knife with a lukewarm, mild soapy solution and drying it thoroughly. This way you will enjoy your knife for the longest time. The dishwasher exposes the steel to different temperatures, acids and other corrosive substances. In addition, there is a chance that the blade will be damaged if it touches plates, pans and other hard objects.
