For a longlasting pleasure with your LAGUIOLE we give you some usefull tips regarding the care:
Lubricate the mechanism regularly, best to use a resin-free weapon-oil. Sharpen the knife with a proper grinding device. Do not let the horn or wood get wet and never put the knife into the dishwasher or the kitchen sink. Protect the wood of the handle occasionally with a drop of olive-oil. Protect oxidizing blade-steel preventivly by oiling the blade from time to time.
Please keep in mind that horn and rare-wood are natural materials which react sensible to moi- sture. Both materials absorb moisture and can split or crack. Only when really dirty it should be wiped off wet and immediately and carefully dried. Please do not use washing-up liquid as it affects the horn and wood.
