How to use

Hold the knife with a firm, comfortable grip on the handle and use the 15 cm blade for controlled slicing, chopping or trimming motions. For precision tasks, position the tip and use short, steady strokes; for rocking cuts, use the slightly arched back of the blade to stabilize the motion. Use appropriate cutting boards and avoid cutting on very hard surfaces such as ceramic or glass to preserve the edge.

Recommendations

Hand wash the knife with mild detergent and dry immediately to maintain corrosion resistance and edge life. Regular honing and periodic professional sharpening will keep the blade performing as intended. Store the knife in a block, sheath or on a magnetic strip to protect the edge and reduce the risk of accidents.
