You can use it for meat, fish, vegetables, fruit and bread, so it covers most of your daily prep.

For home cooking this is a sensible balance: the edge holds up well to everyday cutting, and you can bring it back on a whetstone without much effort.

After that, wash it by hand with non-abrasive materials and wipe it dry; a dishwasher is not recommended, and the knife should not be left in the sink for long. Cut on wooden or plastic boards, never on glass, and leave bones to a SAMURA cleaver and frozen food to a double-sided serrated saw knife. Use a honing rod between sharpenings, sharpen on a whetstone at the original factory bevel angle of 15–17°, and store the knife in a brush block or knife holder where the blade does not touch metal items.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Yakovlev series\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/yakovlev\"\u003eYakovlev collection\u003c\/a\u003e is a tribute to the evolution of knife making, with sleek, aggressive designs that are as effective as they are elegant.
