How to use

Hold the knife with a comfortable grip on the handle and position the blade close to the item being prepared. Use short, controlled strokes for peeling and trimming, keeping the non-cutting hand clear or stabilized with a claw grip to protect fingers. For detailed work, rotate the ingredient rather than overextending the blade. Regular honing and proper storage will help maintain the blade’s edge and precision. Observe standard kitchen safety practices when handling and washing the knife.

Usage recommendations

Use the peeling knife for tasks that require fine control rather than heavy chopping; avoid cutting through bone or very hard materials. Clean and dry the knife after each use and store it in a knife block, drawer insert or protective sheath to preserve the blade and handle.
