How to use
Use the knife for typical Santoku and chef-style techniques: slice with a smooth forward and backward motion, dice with controlled downstrokes and chop using small rocking movements when appropriate. Maintain a secure grip on the ergonomic handle and use a stable cutting board. The 20 cm blade is suitable for both small and medium-sized ingredients; adjust your technique for larger items or bones and avoid using the knife on hard surfaces.
Usage recommendations
The blade should be hand-washed and dried immediately after use to preserve the Damascus finish and prevent corrosion. Regular honing and occasional professional sharpening will keep the edge performance optimal. Store the knife in a block, on a magnetic strip or in a sheath to protect the edge and ensure safety.
