How to use

Use the knife with a stable cutting board and a secure grip on the handle.

Clean the blade after each use, dry thoroughly and store in a safe place such as a knife block or magnetic strip to avoid damage and maintain edge condition.

Usage recommendations

For best results, hand-wash the knife with mild detergent and avoid prolonged exposure to acidic ingredients or saline water. Regular light honing will help maintain a consistent edge; sharpen on an appropriate stone or with a professional service when necessary. Use a wooden or plastic cutting board to reduce blade wear.
