FAQs
Is the blade magnetic?
The blade is made of high-quality stainless steel, which generally exhibits low magnetic properties but is designed primarily for food contact safety.
Can I use this for tempering chocolate?
Yes, its flexible stainless steel design makes it suitable for working with melted chocolate on marble or metal surfaces.
What is the total length of the knife?
The blade is 19.5cm; the total length including the ergonomic handle is approximately 32cm.
Is the handle heat resistant?
The handle is designed for standard kitchen use; however, it should not be exposed to open flames or direct contact with hot stove tops.
Does it rust?
As it is made from stainless steel, it is highly resistant to corrosion provided it is dried properly after washing.
Troubleshooting
Blade feels slightly bent out of shape
The blade is intentionally flexible for spreading; however, if it becomes distorted from misuse, gently bend it back to its original profile by hand.
Stains appearing on the blade
Ensure the knife is rinsed immediately after contact with acidic foods and avoid soaking in harsh chemicals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This palette knife requires no assembly; it is ready to use immediately upon unboxing. To ensure the longevity of the stainless steel blade, avoid using abrasive scouring pads that might cause surface scratches. While the tool is dishwasher safe, hand washing in warm soapy water is recommended to maintain the finish of the handle grip over time. Always ensure the knife is stored in a clean, dry area or a knife block to prevent damage to the blade's edge.
