FAQs
Why is the handle red?
The red handle follows color-coding standards for HACCP compliance, specifically designating this knife for use with raw meat.
Can I sharpen this knife myself?
Yes, you can use a manual honing steel or a whetstone to maintain the edge sharpness.
Is this knife suitable for frozen foods?
No, using this knife on frozen foods can cause the blade to chip or break; only use it on fresh food items.
What is the blade length in inches?
The blade measures 8.5 inches (21.6cm).
Should I sharpen it every day?
Honing with a steel before each session is recommended, but actual sharpening with a stone should only be done when the blade no longer cuts cleanly.
Troubleshooting
The blade feels dull after heavy use
Use a professional sharpening steel to realign the edge or a whetstone if the edge has become blunt over time.
Surface spots appear on the blade
These are likely water stains; scrub gently with a soft sponge and mild abrasive cleaner, then dry completely.
Grip feels slippery during use
Ensure the handle is cleaned of any residual oil or animal fats, and dry your hands thoroughly before gripping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This knife requires minimal setup; it is ready to use immediately out of the box. To ensure the longest possible lifespan, avoid putting the knife in the dishwasher, as the heat and aggressive detergents can degrade the handle material and dull the edge. Always hand wash the blade using mild soap and warm water, then dry it thoroughly immediately after use to prevent spotting. Store the knife in a knife block or on a magnetic strip to keep the blade edge from making contact with other metal objects. For best results, use a honing steel before each session to realign the edge.
