Knowing if a knife is of good quality is key to ensuring that it will last for years and function properly. It should feel balanced in the hand, have a sharp and resistant blade, and an ergonomic handle that is well assembled to the blade.

Are the knives sharpened at the factory?
Yes, all Magefesa knives are sharpened at the factory, but with daily use, it is normal for the blade to lose its sharpness. Regular maintenance with a sharpening steel or whetstone prolongs the knife’s useful life and performance.

Is it worth buying a complete set or individual knives?
Choosing a set of knives is more economical and offers a harmonized design with the basics ready to go, while choosing knives individually allows you to invest more in the ones you use and complete the collection according to your needs.

How do you keep knives sharp?
Maintaining the sharpness of knives is key to cutting safely and prolonging their life: use sharpening steels before or after each use, resort to whetstones when the edge is worn, and avoid high temperatures or cutting acidic foods or bread with knives without serrated edges.

Can knives be put in the dishwasher?
Occasionally, yes, but we must be aware that continued use of the dishwasher can damage the edge due to the use of aggressive detergents and high temperatures. Our recommendation is to wash knives by hand, with mild soap and a soft sponge.

How can knives be stored safely?
Storing knives correctly protects the blade, prolongs their life, and prevents accidents: use wooden blocks or racks, magnetic strips or holders to separate the knives, sheaths for transport, and never mix them loose in a drawer.
