How to use

Hold the gude Alpha knife with a firm but relaxed grip on the olive wood handle, supporting the workpiece with your other hand. Use the short blade for controlled strokes when peeling, trimming or making small decorative cuts. For coring and seed removal, use the tip and small slicing motions to avoid large cutting arcs. After use, rinse and dry the blade and handle promptly to preserve the olive wood and maintain edge condition.

Usage recommendations

To extend the life of the olive wood handle, avoid prolonged soaking and do not place the knife in a dishwasher. Regular light honing and occasional professional sharpening will keep the short blade effective for precise tasks. Store the knife in a dedicated block, magnetic strip or sheath to protect the edge and maintain safety.
