CARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR wooden knife and Kids Cutting Board:
-Wash your knife and cutting board in warm water without any chemicals then rinse thoroughly. DRY IMMEDIATELY otherwise the wood will absorb water and will feel rough and dry.
-If you feel the wood is starting to be rough or splintering, use a 220 grit sandpaper on the rough areas until smooth and cover with mineral oil (the product will be as new again)
-Knives and Cutting boards need to be reconditioned with mineral oil and beeswax every few months depending on how often it is used. For heavy daily use, re oil every month or as often as desired. Cutting board oil can be purchased from a variety of stores such as home depot, chef central, or any store that stocks wood cutting boards. Look for mineral oil or a combination with beeswax as they will help to condition your knife and board.
I recommend heating the oil to warm before applying. This will allow for a greater saturation and will absorb more into the wood.
-Do not drop on hard surfaces!
WE STRONGLY ADVISE:
1) Never put in the dishwasher because the heat and water will warp and splinter the wood.
2) Do not soak in the sink or the dish pan as the wood soaks up water and can crack or twist or bow, or all of these at once
3) Do not put into the Microwave or the Oven. Knife and boards might dry out and this is bad for the wood.
4) Do not put near heat sources. Don't forget they are made from wood.
5) Do not use olive or vegetable oils for maintenance as they turn rancid quickly. Use mineral oil.
