What does the Cuisine::pro® Lifetime Guarantee cover?

All products from THE CUSTOM CHEF are backed by the Cuisine::pro® LIFETIME GUARANTEE, provided by Global Retail Brands Canada Limited. This covers defects in materials and workmanship for 25 years under normal domestic use and proper care. It does not cover normal wear and tear, misuse, or improper cleaning.

How should I care for my knives?

Hand-wash with mild soap and warm water, then dry immediately. Avoid dishwashers and cutting on hard surfaces like stone or glass. Regular honing keeps your blade sharp—professional sharpening may be needed only once a year with proper care.
