CUTLERY+KNIVES - Cutlery must be used and handled with care to ensure the safety of the user and those nearby. Each item is designed for a specific purpose and should not be misused. Always check for defects such as loose handles, cracks, or breakage, as damaged cutlery can be dangerous—especially if a handle detaches during use. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning and maintenance. Store cutlery in a safe place, out of children's reach. Avoid leaving it unattended on plate edges or surfaces to prevent falls and injuries. Improper use can cause harm, so handle cutlery carefully and only for its intended purpose. Knives, in particular, must be held firmly, keeping fingers away from the blade to avoid accidental cuts. Use them only for cutting; avoid tasks that may damage the blade or cause injury. Sharpen them regularly—dull blades require more force and can slip more easily. When not in use, store knives with the blade facing down or securely away from people. Use them on stable, non-slip surfaces to reduce the risk of accidents. Never leave knives unattended and always keep them out of children’s reach. When washing, handle with care and avoid direct contact with the blade; use gloves or cloths if needed. Never force a knife through very hard materials—it may break or cause injury. When transporting, always carry the knife with the blade pointing down to prevent accidental cuts.
