Function Description:

The Ninja Foodi NeverDull Premium Knife System is designed to provide a complete set of high-quality kitchen knives with an integrated sharpening system to maintain optimal sharpness. The system includes various knife types for different culinary tasks, ensuring versatility in the kitchen. The core function of the system is to offer a convenient and effective way to keep knives sharp, enhancing cutting performance and safety. The NeverDull sharpener is specifically engineered to restore the blade edge of Ninja knives, ensuring they remain as sharp as new with regular maintenance.

Usage Features:

The knife system includes a range of knives tailored for specific uses:

8" Chef Knife: A multipurpose, versatile knife ideal for slicing, chopping, mincing, and dicing a wide variety of ingredients, including vegetables, fruits, proteins, herbs, and nuts.
8" Bread Knife: Designed for effortlessly slicing through bread, tomatoes, and citrus fruit without tearing.
5" Santoku Knife: A smaller multipurpose knife suitable for thinner slicing, dicing, and mincing. Its oval indents along the blade prevent food from sticking, making it efficient for vegetables, fruits, proteins, herbs, and fish.
5" Boning Knife: Specialized for filleting fish, cutting meat, and separating meat from the bone, making tasks like preparing poultry, fish, and various meats easier.
5" Utility Knife: Used for thinner slicing, trimming, and filleting, applicable to vegetables, fruits, and proteins.
3.5" Paring Knife: Perfect for precise tasks such as cutting, trimming fat, and peeling small vegetables and fruit.
(6) 4.5" Steak Knives: Designed for slicing through cooked protein, primarily steak, chicken, chops, and fish.
Shears: Versatile for snipping and cutting tasks, including herbs and trimming fat.

The integrated NeverDull sharpening system is a key usage feature. Knives arrive sharp and should not be sharpened immediately. To maintain optimal sharpness, the sharpening process should be followed at least every two weeks. The sharpening steps are straightforward:

Slide the sharpener lever to the bottom of the knife block.
Insert a clean Ninja knife into the designated sharpening slot until the blade comes to a hard stop. There are two slots: an upper slot for larger knives (Chef and Santoku) and a lower slot for smaller knives (Utility, Steak, Paring, and Boning).
While holding the knife in place, slide the lever all the way up and down 10 times. A slight click will be heard when the lever reaches the bottom of the block. It's important that the lever travels the full length of the block to ensure proper sharpening, as the upstroke positions the stone sharpening wheel and the downstroke sharpens the knife.
With the lever all the way down, keep hands away from the knife edge and carefully remove the knife.
Rinse and dry the knife thoroughly after sharpening to remove any metal shavings. If the knife has not returned to the preferred sharpness, the steps should be repeated.

Important tips for sharpening include:

Only sharpen Ninja-branded cutlery. Using other brands could damage both the sharpener and knives.
Only sharpen clean cutlery.
Do not sharpen the Shears or the serrated Bread Knife.
Before inserting a knife for sharpening, always slide the sharpener lever to the bottom of the knife block to prevent damaging the knife.
When sharpening, place your left hand lightly on the inserted knife handle for stability.
The knife block features four suction cups on the bottom for added sturdiness during sharpening. All knives should be removed from the block before moving it.

Maintenance Features:

Proper cleaning and care are essential to maintain the quality and longevity of the Ninja Foodi NeverDull Premium Knife System:

Dishwasher Use: Knives should NOT be placed in the dishwasher. Dishwashing can decrease the quality of the knife, damage the blade edge, and reduce the stainless steel integrity.
Hand Washing: Knives should be hand washed.
Drying: After washing, knives must be dried thoroughly before storing to prevent watermarks and spotting. It is crucial NOT to touch the sharp edge of the knife while drying.
Shears: The Shears come apart for easy hand washing and cleaning.
Knife Block: The knife block should be wiped clean.
Post-Sharpening Cleaning: After sharpening, rinse and dry the knife thoroughly to remove any metal shavings.
Regular Sharpening: Repeat the sharpening steps for each clean knife every two weeks to maintain optimal sharpness.

The system is designed for user convenience, with an emphasis on safe and effective knife maintenance. The integrated sharpener and clear instructions ensure that users can easily keep their knives in top condition, prolonging their lifespan and enhancing the overall cooking experience.
