Caring for your knives

I have one simple rule for caring for knives: if you treat them well, they’ll treat you well. And by treating you well, that means that they’ll last for many years. My primary knives are over 20 years old, and should be going strong for many more years. You can get the same mileage out of yours by paying attention to how you wash, store, and use your knives.
