FAQs
What does the green handle signify?
In professional food safety systems, green is typically designated for fruit and vegetable preparation to prevent cross-contamination.
Can this knife cut through frozen food?
No, this slicer is designed for breads and soft foods. Attempting to cut frozen products may damage the serrations.
Is the handle heat resistant?
The nylon handle is durable and designed for professional environments, but it should not be left in direct contact with hot stoves or heating elements.
How long is the blade?
The blade measures 30.5cm, which is equivalent to 12 inches.
How should I store this knife?
Store on a magnetic wall rack or in a knife block to protect the edge from dulling.
Troubleshooting
Knife feels dull or catches on crusts
Ensure you are using a light sawing motion. If performance remains poor, use a specialized serrated knife sharpener to hone the teeth.
Water spots appearing after dishwasher cycle
Immediately remove the knife from the dishwasher and hand-dry it with a soft cloth to prevent mineral buildup on the steel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This knife requires no complex setup; it is ready to use immediately upon sanitization. For care, while the knife is dishwasher safe, it is highly recommended to hand wash the blade periodically to maintain the longevity of the stainless steel edge. When storing, use a knife rack or magnetic strip to protect the serrations from impact against other metal utensils. In professional kitchens, ensure the green handle is used strictly for raw produce to maintain compliance with safety color-coding standards.
