How to use
Use the 18 cm slicing knife with smooth, steady slicing motions, pulling the blade toward you or pushing it forward depending on the cut. Keep the cutting surface stable and use a suitable wooden or plastic cutting board to protect the edge. For slicing large joints or roasts, allow the meat to rest before carving and make long, continuous strokes to achieve even, thin slices.
Usage recommendations
Hand wash and dry immediately after use to preserve the blade and damask pattern; avoid the dishwasher. Regularly hone the blade with a fine steel and periodically sharpen on a whetstone to maintain the VG-MAX edge. Store the knife in a block, magnetic strip or blade guard to protect the cutting edge.
