How to use

Hold the knife close to the bolster for maximum control when peeling or paring. Use short, controlled strokes and rotate the fruit or vegetable as you cut to follow natural contours.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the knife for tasks suited to a 10 cm paring blade: detailed peeling, trimming small blemishes and creating garnishes. Avoid heavy chopping or twisting motions that can stress a short blade and the wooden handle. Regular sharpening and proper drying of the handle will extend performance and reliability.
