How to use

What to consider before purchase

• Hand wash only to preserve the blade and handle quality
• Store in a knife block or on a magnetic strip to protect the edge
• Regular honing is recommended to maintain peak sharpness

Usage recommendations: Always dry the knife thoroughly after washing to prevent water spots and maintain the aesthetic appearance of the acrylic handle. Avoid using glass or stone cutting surfaces, as these can dull the blade prematurely.
