This starts with cleaning the material immediately after use. Cleaning this sharpening steel should be done by hand under a warm tap, not in the dishwasher. The dishwasher can damage both the blade and the handle of the sharpening steel. After cleaning, we recommend storing the sharpening steel in a dry place.   Over time, a knife wears out, making it less sharp, including Xinzuo knives. Burrs will appear on the edge and you will notice that cutting is less easy than before. Keeping the knife sharp can be done with the help of a sharpening steel and/or a sharpening stone (or grinding machine). A sharpening steel is intended to regularly remove burrs from the edge in order to make the knife sharp again. However, after a lot of wear and tear, the sharpening steel will no longer be sufficient. Then it's time to sharpen the knife. You can do this yourself with a sharpening stone or grinding machine, but if you have no experience in this, you can also have it done by a professional knife sharpener.   Please note: we recommend using Xinzuo sharpening steels to sharpen Xinzuo knives, as sharpening these knives is only possible with a sharpening steel with an exceptionally high hardness.   Xinzuo Netherlands offers a standard 10-year warranty on all Xinzuo products.
