How to use
Hold the knife with a firm, comfortable grip and guide the blade using smooth, controlled strokes appropriate to the task. Use the shorter 12 cm blade for detailed work and small items, and the 23 cm blade for longer slicing runs such as larger steaks or longer cuts. For slicing steaks, let the blade do the work with gentle back-and-forth or single-pass motions to preserve juiciness and achieve even slices. Apply appropriate cutting boards and maintain a stable surface during use.
Usage recommendations
For best results, hand wash and dry the knife immediately after use to protect the edge and handle. Regular honing preserves cutting performance; periodic professional sharpening restores the edge when necessary. Store the knife in a block, magnetic strip, or protective sheath to avoid damage and ensure safety.
