Modüla™ knives are precision-forged tools designed for everyday cooks who value top performance. With high-quality Japanese steel blades and tough, Aussie-made handles, proper care ensures they’ll stay razor-sharp and ready for decades of cooking.
This page covers everything you need to know about using, maintaining, and caring for your Modüla™ knife, from cutting technique and cleaning tips to sharpening guidance and FAQs.
Hand-wash Only: Avoid dishwashers to preserve blade sharpness and prevent corrosion.
Dry After Use: Wipe your knife dry after washing to maintain the edge and finish. Ideally, opt to clean your blades directly after use.
Store Securely in a Dry Place: Use your sustainable bamboo storage to protect your blade's edge, or place in a knife block, magnetic strip, or protective sheath.
Avoid cutting on Very Hard Surfaces: such as granite or glass, and thick bones, frozen food or other extremely dense items.
Safety First: Modula knifes will arrive sharpened for you, please ensure you keep your fingers clear of the cutting edge.
Hold the Knife with a Relaxed but Firm Grip. The Modüla™ handle is designed to provide a secure, ergonomic hold. Allow your hand to guide the blade with minimal strain.
Sharpen When Needed: For best results, use our dedicated Modüla™ Sharpener System and apply a gentle rocking motion (see our sharpening guide for tips). Avoid pull through sharpeners.

Q. How do I best handle my Modula Knife?
Safety first. Your Modula Knife comes sharpened for you, meaning they're razor-sharp. Please keep your fingers well clear of the cutting edge.
Q. Can I clean my Modüla™ knives in the dishwasher?
No. We don't recommend putting your Modüla™ knives in the dishwasher, as it can be detrimental to the quality of your knife (causing excessive bluntness and a higher risk of rust). A gentle hand-wash and dry should be all your Modüla™ knives require to keep them clean.
Q. How do I keep my Modula Knife Sharp?
For best results, we recommend sharpening your knives using our Modula Sharpening System. Unlike common drag-through sharpeners that can damage blades, Modüla™ uses a gentle rocking motion. Move the knife edge back and forth through the diamond-coated fingers, allowing the correct micro-serrations to form naturally along the edge. This technique ensures a cleaner, sharper edge with minimal wear.
Q. How long will the blade last with normal household usage?
This is a hard one to give a clear-cut answer, as everyone's perception of 'normal usage' is different! Our blades will last as long as every other very high-end blade. If you use your Modüla™ Sharpener sparingly, these blades will last for decades. If they're being heavily used and sharpened often, the will wear down slightly faster.
Q. Can I use my InversionEdge™ Sharpening System to sharpen my Modüla™ knives?
Yes, you can! Our InversionEdge™ Sharpening System can definitely be used on Western-style knives that have a symmetrical edge, like our Modüla™ knives. You will simply need to flip your Modüla™ knife to ensure you sharpen both sides of the edge evenly.
