Care

  • Store securely with the edge protected
  • Sharpen as needed with suitable equipment

Dolch Santoku

Dolch Chopper

Portioning boneless lamb and chicken, slicing meat into strips and dicing meat for everyday meals.

Not suitable for frozen food, beef or horse bones, or other large, hard bones.

Dolch Paring Knife

Peeling and slicing fruit and vegetables, removing blemishes, trimming meat and preparing small portions of boneless chicken, pork and beef.

Safety

  • Never pry, hammer or open cans with a knife
  • Keep away from children
  • Never catch a falling knife
  • Stop using a damaged blade

Why avoid frozen food and hard objects?

A hardened blade has a fine cutting edge. Impact and sideways force can chip, bend or break it. Hardness does not make it impact-proof. Thaw food fully and never twist a trapped blade.
