Key specifications
 Blade length: 19 cm
 Blade material: steel
 Knife type: Santoku (multi-purpose kitchen knife)
 Handle: ergonomic design for improved grip
 Intended use: slicing, dicing, chopping
How to use
Use the Santoku knife for straight-down chopping, push-slicing and controlled slicing motions. Position the blade so the cutting edge makes contact with the board and guide the food with the non-cutting hand using a claw grip to protect fingertips. For softer items, use thin, even strokes; for denser items, apply steady pressure and let the blade do the work. Keep the knife steady and maintain a comfortable wrist position to reduce strain.
Usage recommendations
Hand wash and dry immediately after use to preserve edge and finish. Store the knife in a block or on a magnetic strip to avoid damage to the blade. Regular honing and periodic professional sharpening will maintain cutting performance. Avoid cutting on very hard surfaces such as stone or glass and refrain from using the knife on bones or frozen items to prevent chipping.
