Risoluzione dei problemi

Issue: Knife does not feel sharp after use.

Soluzione: Ensure the knife is fully inserted and removed from the sheath several times. The sharpening mechanism works during both actions. If the issue persists, ensure the sheath is clean and free of debris that might obstruct the sharpening elements.

Issue: Knife is difficult to insert or remove from the sheath.

Soluzione: Check for any food debris or foreign objects inside the sheath. Clean the sheath thoroughly. Ensure the knife is inserted straight and not at an angle. The locking mechanism should engage smoothly.

Issue: Rust spots appear on the blade.

Soluzione: Although made of stainless steel, prolonged exposure to moisture or acidic foods can cause discoloration or rust. Always wash and dry the knife immediately after use. Avoid leaving it soaking in water or in contact with acidic residues. If rust spots appear, they can often be removed with a non-abrasive cleaner designed for stainless steel.
