Kitchen knives should always be given proper care to ensure lasting service. Regular sharpening and honing helps keep blades in good condition. Periodically check all handles to ensure that rivets are in place and there are no cracks, chips, or rust. High end kitchen knives should always be hand washed and dried immediately.
