Why linen
Why linen belongs in a knife kitchen.
- It dries the blade.Linen takes up water fast and leaves no lint, so a knife dried by hand goes back on the rack properly dry.
- It gets softer.Stonewashing softens it from the start, and every wash after makes it softer still.
- It lasts.Linen is one of the strongest natural fibres, made for years of daily use.
Stonewashed European linen. Every piece is 100% European linen, washed with stones before it reaches you, so it arrives soft.
Questions
Choosing linen.
Natural or off black?
Natural shows the texture of the linen. Off black hides marks in a busy kitchen. Both are stonewashed the same way.
How do I wash it?
Follow the care label and skip the iron. The soft creases are part of stonewashed linen.
Why dry a knife by hand?
Water left on the blade can mark even stainless steel, and a dishwasher dulls the edge. Wash it, dry it with a towel and put it away straight after.
