How to use
Use the Santoku knife with a stable cutting board and a controlled, smooth motion: push-cut for slicing and a gentle chop for vegetables and herbs. Keep the tip and heel in contact with the board as needed to maintain control. Avoid using the blade on very hard surfaces (glass, stone) or to cut frozen foods, bones or other unsuitable materials to prevent damage to the edge.
Usage recommendations
Hand-wash and dry immediately after use to preserve blade condition; occasional professional or careful home sharpening is recommended to maintain the VG-MAX edge. Store in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or in a blade guard to protect the edge and prevent accidents.
