How to use

Use the GEFU ENNO Santoku by placing the ingredient on a stable cutting board and employing a rocking or forward slicing motion, depending on the task. For vegetables, use repeated slicing or rocking to achieve even cuts; for fish and meat, use smooth, single-stroke slices where possible. Maintain a secure grip on the handle and keep fingers clear of the blade path. After use, hand wash and dry the knife promptly to preserve the blade and handle finish.

Usage recommendations

For best results, sharpen the blade regularly with an appropriate whetstone or sharpening system and avoid cutting on very hard surfaces such as ceramic or glass. Store the knife in a block, magnetic strip, or protective sheath to prevent accidental damage to the edge and to maintain safety in the kitchen.
