How to use

Keep fingers and hands clear of the blade path and maintain stable posture while cutting.

Usage recommendations

Hand wash the knife with mild detergent and dry immediately to preserve the wooden handle and prevent corrosion on the blade. Regularly hone the edge with a honing steel and sharpen as needed using appropriate sharpening tools or professional services. Store the knife in a block, magnetic strip, or protective sleeve to protect the edge and avoid contact with other utensils.
