List of common maintenance strategies and methods for kitchen knives

There are many types of kitchen knives, and different knives have different uses. Therefore, we must be seated.

　　First, for example, for cutting bones and meat, please use them separately according to their purpose. Knives are not suitable for cutting or cutting hard objects such as metal or wood. When cutting bones, it is advisable to use the heel of the blade to contact the bones. At the same time, choose the obtuse angle of the blade to cut the bone and drop the knife vertically. If the bone bites the knife edge, it is not advisable to shake it from side to side to try to pull out the knife edge. The correct method is to lift the bone and the knife together and chop again until the bone breaks. Otherwise, it will cause the blade edge to break steel into an arc-shaped gap, which is improper use and is not covered by the warranty. After each use, the knives should be washed, wiped dry, smeared with cooked cooking oil, and placed in a ventilated, dry place, away from water and gas stoves to prevent rust. The traditional anti-rust method is to soak the carbon steel knife with rice swill to prevent rust. If the knife has rust. Second, every user who is responsible for and cherishing knives should know how to maintain knives. A well-maintained knife is your useful partner. The term knife care is of course more than just sharpening.

　　 The blade does not rust. The biggest enemy of knives is rust. Even if manufacturers use stainless steel to make blades, we should not think that knives can never rust. As long as the conditions are right, rust spots will appear on the stainless steel surface without hesitation. This is especially true when using knives in coastal hotels, because the air at the seaside is more humid than other places. Also, salt is mixed. Therefore, apply a layer of lubricating oil on the surface of the blade to protect the steel surface of the blade from direct contact with salty moist air erosion. Any kind of lubricating oil can play this role. If the knife is directly exposed to sea water, we should rinse it with clean water immediately after using it, and then apply oil.

　　 Third, another key point in maintaining the folding knife is to add lubricating oil. If it is only used for folding knives, please be very careful when using them, especially when using black blade tactical folding knives, because the lubricant will leave a bright reflective spot after drying on the black electroplating material. If you accidentally get it on, just wash it off with soap and water.

　　 Of course, it’s one thing to have lubricant, but it’s another to know where to use it. Spray lubricants like Dri-Lube are best used on an online lock knife. Align the nozzle of the nozzle with the pivot part of the cutter and spray on it. Then turn the knife on and off a few times, and spray a little more if necessary. For back-locking and sliding-joint knives, some technical statements are required. Just align the nozzle with the gap between the blade and the handle and apply oil. The best practice is to open the blade to be 90 degrees perpendicular to the handle, then apply oil, and then switch the knife several times to make the lubricating oil penetrate completely. Do this work regularly to ensure that your pocket knife is always in its best condition. In summary, the knife is an indispensable partner and tool in our daily lives, and it is also an investment. So we have good reasons to take care of our knives. A well-maintained knife is better to use, it lasts longer, and stays with us for a longer time.
