1. Rinse after use

The best way to clean your quill is to simply run it under the tap right after you use it. Just hold it under cold running water and rub the blade with your fingers, without touching the sharp edge.

2. Wash with mild soap and scrub

For greasy food, a little dishwashing liquid and a sponge go a long way. Pair it with our Gleam & Gleamer Set for a spotless finish.

3. Dry immediately

It’s better to use a cotton or linen towel to dry the quill immediately after washing.

4. Store in a dry place

It’s better to store your quill in a knife block to help protect the blades and keep them safely within reach.

5. Use the sharpening rod regularly.

Occasional honing helps realign the edge of your quill for optimal cutting performance. A frequent, quick swipe down our sharpening rod will make it last a lifetime.

6. Use a better chopping board

The type of cutting board you use can also affect the performance of your blade. Avoid using hard surfaces like natural or artificial stone. Our cutting boards are especially kind to blades.
