Quick answer
Hand wash your Greenworks recycled ABS steak knives with mild soap and warm water, dry them immediately, and store them in a dry place to keep them in top condition.
Why hand washing matters
The handles are made from recycled ABS plastic, which is durable but can be affected by the high heat and harsh detergents of a dishwasher. Hand washing preserves both the look and the integrity of the material.
The full tang construction gives the knife strength, but the blade edge still benefits from gentle handling to maintain sharpness.
What to avoid
Avoid abrasive scouring pads and bleach-based cleaners, as they can scratch the ABS plastic and dull the finish. Also, don't leave the knives soaking in water, which can weaken the handle over time.
While the knives are fully recyclable and come in eco-friendly packaging, that doesn't mean they're compostable—dispose of them properly at the end of their life.
Step-by-step care routine
- Rinse immediately after use: Rinse the knife under warm running water to remove food particles before they dry and stick. Do not let food residue sit on the blade. Check that no food remains in the serrations.
- Hand wash with mild soap: Use a soft sponge or cloth with a small amount of mild dish soap. Wash the blade and handle gently, avoiding abrasive cleaners. Avoid soaking the knife in water for more than a few seconds.
- Dry thoroughly: Dry the knife with a soft towel immediately after washing. Pay special attention to the handle and the area where the blade meets the handle to prevent moisture buildup. Air drying is okay, but only in a well-ventilated spot.
- Store in a dry place: Keep the knives in a drawer or on a magnetic strip away from humidity. If storing in a drawer, use a knife guard to protect the blade edge. Do not store them loose with other utensils that could knock the blade.
