Important Notes
This knife is imported and crafted to meet Victorinox’s high standards for quality and performance. As with all high-quality kitchen knives, proper care is recommended to maintain blade sharpness and handle integrity. Hand washing is advised to preserve the wood handle and prevent premature wear; avoid soaking or placing in the dishwasher. Dry immediately after washing to prevent moisture damage. Store in a dry, safe location, preferably in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or with a blade guard to protect the edge. Regular honing with a steel will help maintain the blade’s alignment and cutting efficiency between sharpenings. This product does not include a sheath or storage case.
