Full details
The Zyliss Spreading Knife is an ideal kitchen essential for home cooks and breakfast enthusiasts who prioritize precision when applying butter, jams, or cream cheese. Its primary benefit is a flexible blade that ensures smooth, even coverage on delicate breads and pastries without causing tearing. While it excels at spreading and light cutting, users should be aware that the 120 mm blade is not intended for heavy-duty chopping or thick, dense food items.

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.

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