Important Notes

All components are constructed from high-grade stainless steel to resist corrosion and maintain sharpness over time. Regular cleaning and drying after use will help preserve the knife’s performance and longevity. While the tool is designed for durability, it should be stored in a dry environment to prevent moisture buildup. The product comes as a single unit with no additional accessories beyond those listed. Always handle blades and sharp tools with care to avoid injury.
