How to use

Hold the knife by the handle with a firm but comfortable grip and position the short fixed blade at a shallow angle to the material for controlled cutting. Use steady, even strokes and allow the blade to do the work rather than applying excessive force. For tasks requiring fine detail, make small, controlled passes. After use, store the knife in a sheath or designated compartment to protect the blade and prevent accidental contact.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the blade for signs of wear or damage and replace the tool when the cutting edge becomes dull or chipped. Use appropriate protective equipment such as cut-resistant gloves when working with tougher materials. Keep the knife clean and dry to preserve the blade finish and avoid corrosive environments.
