Know before you buy
The notched, high-carbon stainless steel blade is specifically engineered to grip and saw through thick-skinned fruits like pineapples or melons. A standard smooth-edged knife often slips on these rinds, whereas this saw provides the traction needed for clean, efficient cuts.
Because it is natural wood, you should avoid soaking the handle in water or putting it in the dishwasher. To keep the wood in top condition, occasionally apply a food-safe mineral oil to prevent it from drying out.
Full-tang means the metal blade extends all the way through the handle rather than just being glued into the end. This provides superior balance and ensures the blade won't snap or loosen from the handle under the pressure of cutting tough ingredients.
Yes, the included sheath is designed to cover the sharp, notched edge completely. It prevents the blade from dulling against other tools and protects your fingers when reaching into a drawer.
While the notched edge is durable, it is more complex to sharpen than a straight blade. You will need a specialized sharpening rod or a professional service to maintain the specific geometry of the notches over time.
