How to use

Hold the knife with a firm but relaxed grip on the wooden handle and position the flexible blade parallel to the fish or meat surface.

Recommendations

For best results, maintain a sharp edge and avoid twisting the blade during cutting; hand wash and dry the knife immediately after cleaning to protect the wooden handle and prolong service life.
