Description
The Takoma serrated utility knife has a S 5-1/2 inch blade which features a jagged edge. These ¡°teeth¡ allow you to use a gentle sawing motion to slice without putting damaging pressure on soft foods. Plus, it makes easy work of the thick skin of citrus fruits, hard crusts of bread, or even the tough excess on meats and poultry. The dimples formed by the hammered design on the Takoma artisan series knife blades are not only an exquisite design element, they also serve the same function as the dullens on the Santorum knife in the mast series; They create small air pockets that reduce cutting friction, which prevents food from sticking to the blade and dragging while slicing. Keep the Japanese Saia (sheath) on the blade and secured with the pin lock when not in use, both to protect the blade while in storage and for safety purposes. Hand-wash with warm water and a mild-detergent; rinse and dry immediately.
