Pulizia:
To protect the blade's edge and maintain hygiene, Global knives should be hand washed immediately after each use. Do not place the knife in a dishwasher, as harsh detergents and high temperatures can damage the blade and handle.

- Use a soft sponge or cloth; avoid abrasive scrubbers.
- Sciacquare abbondantemente sotto l’acqua corrente.
- Dry the knife completely with a clean, soft towel to prevent water spots and corrosion.
Affilatura:
Regular sharpening is crucial to maintain the knife's performance. Global recommends using a ceramic sharpener or a diamond steel instead of traditional metal sharpening steels. For optimal results, supplement with a synthetic whetstone, a ceramic whetstone, or a Shinkansen Sharpener. Global also offers sharpening guide sets to ensure the correct angle when honing on a whetstone.
Magazzinaggio:
Store your Global knife properly to protect its edge and ensure safety. Options include a knife block, a magnetic knife strip, or individual blade guards.
5. Risoluzione Dei Problemi
Lama smussata:
If your knife feels dull, it requires sharpening. Refer to the "Sharpening" section above for recommended methods and tools.
Macchie di ruggine:
Although made of stainless steel, prolonged exposure to moisture or harsh chemicals can cause rust spots. Ensure the knife is always dried immediately after washing and avoid dishwasher use. Minor spots can sometimes be removed with a non-abrasive cleaner designed for stainless steel.
