Taking Care Of Your Kitchen Cutlery Continued...

You should keep your kitchen knives away from sand and gritty materials. Be especially aware when you are using your knives outside, camping, barbecuing etc. If your knife or knives get wet you should dry them immediately. When you are washing your cutlery do so in mild soapy water, then dry completely with a towel. Do not allow your knives to drip dry.
