How to use
Hold the knife with a firm but relaxed grip on the ergonomic handle, positioning your fingers to guide small, precise movements. Use the tip and middle section of the 9 cm blade for controlled peeling and trimming; employ short, gentle strokes rather than large sweeping motions. For safety, cut away from your body and stabilize the ingredient with your non-dominant hand. After use, rinse the blade under warm water, dry immediately, and store in a knife block or protective sheath.
Usage recommendations
Maintain the blade by honing regularly and performing periodic sharpening with an appropriate sharpening stone or professional service. Avoid cutting on hard surfaces like stone or glass to preserve the edge. Wash by hand rather than in a dishwasher to extend the life of both blade and handle.
