Professional Kitchen Applications
This compact utility knife is suitable for restaurant preparation stations, catering kitchens, culinary classrooms, and serious home kitchens. It can be used for trimming small cuts of meat, peeling and slicing fruits, portioning vegetables, preparing garnishes, and completing tasks that require more control than a full-size chef knife.
Care & Maintenance
Hand wash the knife using warm water, mild detergent, and a soft cleaning cloth or sponge. Dry it immediately after cleaning to help protect the blade and wooden handle. Do not place the knife in a dishwasher, as prolonged exposure to heat, moisture, and strong detergents may damage the cutting edge and handle material.
