Much like caring for cast iron, baking stones, wood cutting boards, and the like. Trust me if you knew how I treated these items a lot of you would have hives...but that's a post for another day.
The 5 Things Everyone Should Have in Their Knife Drawer - Let me start by saying I don't think you should keep your knives in a drawer, I recommend a magnetic strip. That said I have all but one of these in my kitchen. I need a Microplane.
