How to use

Hold the Santoku knife with a secure grip on the ergonomic handle and use a gentle rocking or forward slicing motion suited to the fluted edge to achieve precise, even cuts. Use the full length of the blade for slicing and the flat section for chopping; maintain consistent finger placement on the guide hand to control food and blade spacing.

Recommendations

For best results, hand wash and dry the knife immediately after use to preserve edge performance. Regular honing keeps the fluted edge aligned; sharpen professionally or with an appropriate sharpening system when necessary. Store the knife in a block, magnetic strip, or blade guard to protect the edge and ensure safe handling.
