• Paring Knife: Perfect for delicate tasks such as peeling and trimming. The Wüsthof Classic Paring Knife 9cm offers precision with its sharp blade and comfortable grip, making intricate work effortless.

• Serrated Knife: Designed for slicing bread without crushing the soft interior. Consider the Furi Pro Bread Knife 20cm with its serrated edge that glides through crusty loaves while maintaining the bread's integrity.

Proper Knife Handling and Maintenance

To ensure safety and prolong the life of your knives:

• Handling: Always use a cutting board to protect both the knife and your countertop. Grip the handle firmly, with your index finger resting on the blade for enhanced control. Cut away from your body, keeping fingers tucked in on the hand holding the food.

• Cleaning: Hand wash knives with mild soap and warm water immediately after use. Avoid dishwashers, as they can damage the blade and handle. Dry promptly to prevent rust and stains.

• Storage: Proper storage prevents damage and injuries. Our Furi Magnetic Hexagonal Knife Block offers a stylish and safe solution, keeping your knives accessible and secure.
