INFORMATION
VICTORINOX
I HOUSEHOLD AND PROFESSIONAL KNIVES
DISHWASHER SAFE
All dishwasher safe products bear the por-
trayed icon and can be cleaned in the dish-
washer. Please make sure that the knives do
not touch other metal utensils in the cutlery
basket. In the long run, a change in color in-
tensity and rusting may occur. Forged knives
with POM handle are dishwasher safe. It is
however recommended, to clean the product
by hand.
CORRECT HANDLING AND CARE
The Blade
Regular care is needed to keep it in top con-
dition. To ensure for long service life, clean
knives with a mild detergant under running
water immediately after use.
If knives are left uncleaned over a long period
of time, salty or acidic food waste may leave
marks on the blade.
Icons on the packaging indicate whether a
knife is dishwasher safe.
Highly polished knives should only be used
for cutting, not for prying or hacking. For
bones or similar materials, please use suita-
ble robust Victorinox products (e.g. Cleaver).
The Sharpening Steel
Cleaning the sharpening steel keeps it hy-
gienic and in optimum condition. Please also
clean sharpening steels with a mild detergant
under running water and let dry completely.
Store sharpening steels in a knife block if
possible.
Wooden Handles
(e.g. Rosewood)
Rosewood is an extremely robust, hard-wea-
ring wood and, thanks to its naturally high oil
content, is also highly resistant to moisture.
To maximize the service life of knives with
wooden handles, never wash them in a dish-
washer.
Synthetic Handles
(e.g. Swiss Classic)
The synthetic handles of our household
knives are generally dishwasher safe. It is
however recommended, to clean the product
by hand.
