Product description:

• In China, this style of knife is called TAO which means SWORD. It is different from conventional kitchen knives in that the blade is thicker and wider and is capable of cutting large items (such as meat, chicken, etc.) to chopping and cutting of vegetables.
• The design prioritizes comfort, efficiency, and enduring razor-sharpness, offering everyday chefs ultimate precision and performance in the kitchen.
• High-Quality Stainless Steel is the perfect choice for everyday use of any chef whether in a home or professional setting. With an HRC of 50-53 it will take an angled edge and hold it for long enough to help extend the life of your knife (with general maintenance). 
• Handle is crafted from Poplar wood, adding beauty and comfort to the knife user's experience.

Tips for care and use:

• To maintain the wooden handle's longevity, regular maintenance with oils, waxes, or conditioners is recommended. Before oiling, ensure the knife handle is clean and dry by using a moist cloth. Apply a couple of drops of your chosen treatment, typically enough to be rubbed in with just your fingertip. It's crucial to generate some heat while rubbing to aid in breaking down any present waxes and to facilitate absorption into the wood fibers;
• Before using the knife for the first time, wash it with dishwashing detergent;
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners when washing.
