How to use

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

Maintain consistent blade angle during cutting and avoid twisting motions that could stress the edge. After use, hand wash the blade with mild detergent, dry thoroughly and store in a block or sheath to protect the edge.

Usage recommendations

Regularly hone the SCANDI-ground edge with an appropriate straight or slightly curved ceramic rod to maintain performance. When sharpening, use a fine stone or guided system suitable for narrow bevels. Avoid cutting on very hard surfaces such as ceramic plates or glass to preserve the blade geometry.
