How to use

Hold the knife with a secure grip on the pearwood handle and position the blade close to the workpiece for precise control. Use a rocking or slicing motion for peeling and a delicate paring stroke for trimming and garnishing. Work on a stable cutting board and make short controlled movements when coring or cutting small items. Rinse and dry the blade after use to maintain performance and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture on the handle.

Usage recommendations

For best results, keep the blade sharp and store the knife in a protective block or sheath to protect the edge. Avoid cutting on very hard surfaces like ceramic or glass to prevent premature dulling. Oil the pearwood handle occasionally with food-safe oil to maintain its appearance and durability.
