How to use

Hold the Zyliss paring knife with a secure grip on the handle, keeping your fingers clear of the blade. Use short, controlled strokes for peeling and trimming, and guide the blade with your fingertips for precision cutting. For slicing small items or creating garnishes, position the produce on a stable surface or hold it securely in your non-dominant hand while working slowly to maintain control. After use, rinse off food debris and wash according to care instructions to preserve the edge and finish.

Usage recommendations

To maintain the blade’s performance, hand wash with mild detergent and dry immediately. Regular honing will help keep the 15° edge aligned; cosmetic or professional sharpening may be required over time to restore the original edge geometry. Use a suitable cutting board such as wood or plastic to minimize wear on the blade.
