Using your Rig - Tig Sharp Bread Knife is easy. Just hold the ergonomic handle firmly and use the sharp blade to slice through bread with a gentle sawing motion. For best results, use a chopping board. When cleaning, wash it by hand with warm, soapy water and dry it immediately to prevent rust. Avoid putting it in the dishwasher as the high - pressure water and harsh detergents can damage the blade and handle. Store it in a knife block or a sheath to protect the blade and prevent accidents. If the blade gets dull over time, you can sharpen it with a knife sharpener. Remember, this knife is covered by a 30 - day return policy if you're not satisfied.
