Important Notes
While the Swiss Classic paring knife is dishwasher safe, Victorinox recommends hand washing to preserve the blade’s sharpness and longevity. Dishwashers can cause knives to collide under high-pressure water, potentially dulling the edge. For best results, wash by hand using a soapy cloth and dry immediately. To maintain peak performance, use a honing steel after every few uses to realign the blade edge. If the knife becomes dull or develops nicks, it should be sharpened using a Swiss Sharp Handheld Sharpener (model 49002) or taken to a professional for re-sharpening. Proper care ensures the knife remains a dependable kitchen tool for years to come.
