How to use

Hold the handle with a secure grip and use a rocking or forward-slicing motion depending on the task. For slicing vegetables and fruits, use smooth, even strokes; for dicing and chopping, keep the tip or heel of the blade in contact with the cutting board as needed. Use a stable cutting board and cut at a comfortable height to reduce strain. Clean the knife by hand with warm water and mild detergent, dry immediately and store safely to protect the edge.

Recommendations

To maintain performance, sharpen the knife with an appropriate whetstone or professional sharpening service when the edge dulls, and avoid cutting on very hard surfaces such as ceramic or glass. Regular honing and correct storage will extend the knife's service life.
