How to use

Recommendations

For best results, keep the blade sharp and clean; regular honing and occasional professional sharpening will maintain cutting performance. Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as ceramic or glass to prevent premature dulling. Use the knife for its intended tasks—peeling, trimming and small slicing jobs—to extend its service life and ensure safe operation.
