How to use

Hold the handle with a firm, comfortable grip and position the guide hand on the ingredient to steady it while cutting. Use smooth, controlled motions adapted to the task: rock-chopping for herbs and vegetables, forward slicing for meat and long cuts. Maintain a secure cutting board and keep the blade angle consistent to achieve even slices and safe operation. For tasks requiring extra control, use the heel of the blade or the tip as appropriate.

Usage recommendations

Hand wash the knife with mild detergent and dry immediately to protect the carbon stainless steel. Regular honing with a steel will help maintain the edge between sharpenings; use a professional sharpening service or a whetstone when a full resharpen is needed. Store the knife in a block, magnetic strip, or protective sheath to avoid blade damage and to maintain safety in the kitchen.
