FAQs

Can I use this knife to cut through thick vegetables?

No, this knife is designed for spreading and light slicing. Using it on thick or dense vegetables may bend the flexible blade.

Is the handle made of real plastic?

The handle is crafted from wheat straw, an eco-friendly composite material designed to minimize reliance on traditional plastics.

Is the protective guard included?

Yes, a protective blade guard is included to allow for safe storage in your utensil drawer.

Can I put this in the dishwasher?

Yes, it is dishwasher safe, though we recommend placing it on the top rack for the best care.

How long is the blade?

The blade measures 120 mm in length, which is an ideal size for most standard spreads and sandwiches.

Troubleshooting

Blade feels dull after extensive use

While the blade is high-quality, occasional use of a fine honing steel can help maintain the edge of the serrated section.

Stubborn residue on the handle

Hand wash with mild dish soap and a soft brush; avoid harsh abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the wheat straw material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Flexible blade prevents tearing of soft breads
  • Eco-friendly handle material reduces plastic waste
  • Versatile design allows for both spreading and light slicing
  • Includes a protective cover for safe drawer storage
  • Easy to maintain as it is dishwasher safe

Cons

  • Not suitable for heavy-duty chopping tasks
  • 120 mm blade length may be short for large loaves
  • Serrated edge requires caution when cleaning near the tip

Setup, Compatibility & Care

No complex setup is required; the knife is ready for use immediately upon unboxing. Simply remove the protective blade guard before the first use. While the knife is dishwasher safe, top-rack placement is recommended to maintain the integrity of the wheat straw handle over time.

To ensure longevity:

  1. Always slide the protective guard onto the blade when the tool is not in use.
  2. Avoid using the blade on extremely hard surfaces like stone or glass cutting boards to keep the serrated edge sharp.
  3. Dry the blade promptly after dishwashing to prevent water spots on the stainless steel.
