Product FAQ & Care

How should I clean and care for my DRGSKL knives?

To maintain the integrity and sharpness of the blade, we strongly recommend hand washing your knives with mild dish soap and warm water. Always dry them immediately with a towel before storing. Avoid leaving knives wet or soaking in the sink, as high-carbon steel thrives best when kept dry.

Are these knives dishwasher safe?

No, we do not recommend putting DRGSKL knives in the dishwasher. The high heat, harsh detergents, and movement inside a dishwasher can dull the edge quickly, loosen the wooden handle over time, and cause surface discoloration. Hand washing takes just a few seconds and keeps your knife performing like new.

How long does shipping take, and how can I track my order?

Orders are typically processed within 1–2 business days. Standard international shipping takes approximately 5–9 business days depending on your destination. Once your package departs our facility, you will receive an automatic email with a tracking number so you can monitor your shipment every step of the way.

How often do I need to sharpen the blade, and can I use a normal sharpener?

Our blades are crafted to hold their edge far longer than standard kitchen knives. Under regular home use, a gentle honing steel or whetstone every few months is all you need to maintain peak sharpness. You can use standard sharpeners, but a whetstone or ceramic honing rod is recommended for best results.

What is your return policy if I’m not satisfied with my purchase?

We stand behind the quality of our tools. If you are not completely satisfied with your order, you can return the unused product in its original packaging within 30 days of delivery for a full refund or exchange. Simply contact our support team at support@drgskl.com to initiate a return.
