CLEANING
Clean your blade with a soft dishcloth, warm water and dish soap after each use. Avoid dishwashers, as high heat and harsh cleaners can damage the cream handles and dull the blade.

USAGE
Designed for slicing, chopping and dicing. Avoid using on bones or to cut through frozen foods as the fine edge may chip. Also, avoid twisting or forcing the blade to prevent damage.
