Maintenance and Care
To keep your chef's knife in optimum condition, we recommend hand washing it with mild soap and warm water. As with any good chef's knife, avoid the dishwasher, as the aggressive cleaning can quickly shorten the life of your knife. After washing, make sure to dry it immediately and thoroughly to avoid stains.
Sharpen regularly
Use a sharpening stone, sharpening rod or sharpening steel regularly. This will help you effortlessly maintain the sharpness and precision of your knife, extend its lifespan and continue to enjoy an unparalleled cutting experience.
Storage
Properly storing your knives in a knife block is essential to not only ensure safety, but also extend the life of your knives. By storing them this way, you prevent damage to the cutting edges and ensure that they are always within reach when you need them.
Correct substrate
Quality cutting boards are essential for keeping your knives sharp and extending their life. They provide a soft, non-abrasive surface that prevents knives from dulling quickly and reduces the impact on the blade while cutting. Using quality cutting boards is an investment in both the performance and durability of your knives.
Warranty
We are fully convinced of the quality of Shinrai kitchen knives. That is why we offer a 25-year warranty on material and manufacturing defects.

What our customers are saying
I ordered a magnetic knife block and it's perfect. The delivery took a little longer than expected but I only realised later that it's shipped from outside the UK. Nonetheless, it arrived in great condition, looks fab and works exactly as I hoped.
Exactly what I was looking for in a knife, something I could use both at home or in work and a brilliant edition to my already growing collection. Will 100% back to buy another, also loved the way they give you a plaster with your knife!...never seen this before
