Service and care
A Güde knife can last for decades. A few habits at the sink and in the drawer are all it takes.

Cleaning
Daily care
Only the black Hostaform Alpha, Universal and all-metal Kappa knives can go in the dishwasher. Even those last longer washed by hand.
- Wipe the knife with a damp cloth right after use
- Never leave it uncleaned, especially after cutting acidic food
- Never use corrosive or abrasive cleaners
- Keep wood and Micarta handles out of the dishwasher and out of standing water
Storage
Keep the edge off the drawer
Knives should be close at hand. At home, a solid knife block in a material that suits the knives is the best place for them, and a magnetic strip is a good alternative. Loose in a drawer, blades and handles knock against each other and get damaged.
