How to use

Hold the knife with a comfortable grip so the tip and curved edge can follow the surface of the food. For peeling, start at one end and rotate the fruit or vegetable while guiding the blade with light, even pressure to remove the skin in thin strips. For precision cutting and garnishing, use short, controlled strokes and keep the tip engaged for detail work. Maintain a stable cutting surface and position your non-dominant hand to steady the item while keeping fingers clear of the blade path.

Usage recommendations

Keep the blade sharp through regular honing and occasional professional sharpening to preserve cutting performance. Clean the knife by hand with mild detergent and dry immediately to prevent moisture contact; avoid dishwashers. Store the knife in a protective sheath, knife block or on a magnetic strip to protect the edge and prevent accidents.
