How to use

Hold the knife with a comfortable pinch or full-handle grip depending on the cut required.

Maintain control by keeping the non-cutting hand in a claw position to steady the food. After use, clean the knife by handwashing with mild detergent, dry immediately and store in a suitable knife block or magnetic strip to protect the edge and ensure safety.

Regularly hone the blade to maintain a consistent edge and perform professional sharpening as needed. Avoid cutting on very hard surfaces such as stone or glass and do not use the knife for prying or cutting bones to preserve blade life and ensure safe operation.
