Technique for use:

The technique for the use of a chef's knife is an individual preference. For more precise control, most chefs prefer to grip the blade itself, with the thumb and the index finger grasping the blade just to the front of the finger guard and the middle finger placed just opposite, on the handle side of the finger guard. This is commonly referred to as a "pinch grip". Those without culinary training often grip the handle, with all four fingers and the thumb gathered underneath.

For fine slicing, the handle is raised up and down while the tip remains in contact with the cutting board, and the cut object is pushed under the blade.

Caution:

1. For better performance of the product, washing and drying it very carefully before storing is recommended. 

2. To increase the life span of the knife, do not use it on glass or ceramic worktops.

3. For safety, do not take it by hand when the knife drops.

4. Do not test the sharpness by finger.

5. Keep out of reach of children.
