For vegetables
A Nakiri, Santoku, or smaller utility knife is suitable for vegetables. It allows for precise, quick, and comfortable slicing.

Caring for Kitchen Knives
We recommend washing kitchen knives by hand, drying them immediately, and storing them in a way that prevents damage to the blade. It is not recommended to wash them in the dishwasher or to cut on hard surfaces such as glass, stone, or ceramic. To ensure the blade’s longevity, use a high-quality cutting board, whetstones, sharpening steels, and suitable stands or sheaths.
