How to use

Hold the knife with a firm but relaxed grip on the olive wood handle. For filleting, start near the head or tail depending on the fish, insert the tip, and use smooth long strokes along the backbone, letting the flexible blade follow the contour. Use light pressure when removing skin or trimming fat to avoid tearing the flesh. Maintain control with your guiding hand to keep consistent slice thickness and reduce waste.

Usage recommendations

Keep the blade sharp for precise cuts and replace or re-sharpen as needed. After use, hand-wash the knife with mild detergent, dry immediately, and occasionally condition the olive wood handle with a suitable food-safe oil to preserve its appearance and stability. Store the knife in a protective sheath or knife block to protect the edge and ensure safe handling.
