The application of the knives is described on our page https://forged.nl/en/knife-guide/. You will also find videos about the use of the knives here.

Small burrs can form in the blade when using the knives. These can be removed with a sharpening steel. Despite using a sharpening steel, the knife will become dull over time. In that case, we recommend having the knife sharpened by a reputable knife sharpener.

Stainless steel cutlery and stainless steel cutlery with ABS and AS are dishwasher safe. Remove the cutlery from the machine immediately after the washing program has ended and rub with a dry cloth. If the cutlery is left in a closed, damp dishwasher, rust can form on the stainless steel. Products with and made of wood and the products from all our Forged series are NOT dishwasher safe.

Metal can discolor due to the action of salts and acids, which are found in foods. The hardness of the water and cleaning agents can also cause stains on the metal. These stains can be removed with a suitable steel polish.

For hard cheeses such as Spanish Manchego, Parmesan, or Emmentaler, it is best to use a cheese hatchet or a knife with a sturdy semicircular blade. The straight, solid knife with forked tip is best for semi-hard and hard cheeses, such as matured Gouda cheese and cheddar. Use the forked tip to pierce a piece of cheese. The mezzaluna is ideal. With a rocking motion, you cut through the cheese. Semi-hard and soft cheeses such as brie or camembert have a soft center that can easily stick to the knife. To cut this cheese nicely, use a thin straight knife with holes in the blade. These holes prevent the cheese from sticking and deforming. Another knife that works well with this type of cheese is a boning knife with a short blade. The Laguiole Style de Vie spreader knife is suitable for soft, spreadable cheeses such as fresh cream cheese and soft goat cheese. The cheese fork can be used to hold a block of cheese while cutting. It is also ideal for breaking hard or older cheeses into smaller pieces.

After pouring boiling water into the T-BOTTLE, let it cool for a few minutes before screwing the cap on. You can also add a splash of cold water. This will prevent the build-up of too much pressure, which can cause the cap to jump off or leak.

In the T-BOTTLE, the tea will stay warm for about 1 hour.

Both the Forged knives and the Laguiole Style de Vie knives can be engraved. Please contact your local shop to inquire about the possibilities.
