SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
• Read all instructions.
WARNING
• Use care when handling sharp cutlery.
• Practice safe cutting techniques. Always cut in a motion that points away
from the body. Keep sharp edges pointed down and away when laying knives
down.
• Never attempt to pick up a knife by the blade, hand someone a knife by its
blade, or attempt to catch a falling knife.
• Never place knives in a sink where you or someone else may unknowingly
cut themselves.
• Only store the knives provided with this set in the knife block in their
appropriate slots.
• Each knife stored in a drawer should have a protective shield or be placed in
an in-drawer knife block.
• This cutlery is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical,
sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they are closely supervised and instructed concerning use of the cutlery by a
person responsible for their safety.
• This product is not intended to be used by children.
• Keep knives sharp. A sharp blade slices through foods with less effort than a
dull blade. Dull knives can slip off food and cause injuries.
• Ensure that your cutting surface is stable.
Cut Hazard:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Getting Started
Wolf Gourmet Collection of Cutlery is meticulously forged using a premium
specialty stainless steel and ground using advanced laser technology to
ensure a precise cutting angle resulting in a razor-sharp cutting edge. The
nest high-carbon stainless steel is used to achieve a Rockwell Hardness of
61 to create an exceptionally durable, long-lasting edge that is also easy to
hone and sharpen. The balanced, triple-riveted, full-tang knife is made with a
beautiful, resin-infused, moisture-resistant pakkawood handle designed to t
securely and comfortably in the hands of users. Whether you’re a seasoned pro
or discovering the pleasure of cooking for the rst time, these trusted culinary
companions offer performance far beyond your expectations.
Before rst use, hand wash in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a
soft cloth.

Maintaining Cutlery
• Always use appropriate cutting boards. Wood, bamboo, and polypropylene are softer
materials that will allow the knife blades to stay sharp longer. The material should allow the
knife to scratch the surface. Never use hard materials such as tile, ceramic, marble, glass, or
granite. These will dull and damage blades.
• Do not wash in the dishwasher.
• Dishwashing damages the blade and handle. Dry thoroughly before placing in knife block or
in-drawer knife block.
• Never use knives to cut bones or joints. Use the boning notch in the kitchen shears for that
purpose.
• Always rinse and dry knives immediately after using, especially after cutting citrus or high-
acid foods that can damage knives.
• Use knives as intended. Never use to pry frozen food apart or as a screwdriver.
• Regular honing will maintain the edge for up to a year depending on use. Under normal use,
hone once every 2 weeks.
• Have knives professionally sharpened once honing is no longer effective.
• Do not scrape knife blade on cutting surface to prevent dulling the knife.
How to Hone the Knives
1 2
3 4
Stand the honing steel
tip down on a nonslip
surface.
Lightly stroke the edge
of the knife down the
honing steel in a gentle
arc, moving from heel
to tip at a constant
angle. Repeat a second
time.
Touch the steel with the
knife’s edge as though
cutting a very thin slice.
Adjust the angle of the
slice until you barely
feel the edge of the
knife start to bite rather
than slip down the
steel.
Switch sides; follow
same process to
complete honing.
How to Sharpen the Knives
Regular honing will maintain the edge for up to a year depending on use. Once honing is
no longer effective, we suggest having the knife professionally sharpened. The factory-set
angle is 12.5 degrees.
