How to use

Use the WMF Grand Gourmet universal knife for routine kitchen preparation: hold the knife with a firm, ergonomic grip near the bolster or handle, and use a rocking or push-cut motion depending on task and cutting board type.

Use a stable cutting board and choose appropriate cutting techniques for different ingredients to ensure precise results.

Usage recommendations

Clean the knife by hand with warm water and mild detergent, then dry immediately to preserve the stainless steel finish. Regularly hone the edge with a honing steel and sharpen as needed using a whetstone or professional sharpening service. Store the knife in a block, magnetic strip, or protective sheath to protect the edge and prevent accidents. Avoid cutting on very hard surfaces such as stone or glass to prevent premature blunting.
