This 8" Wan Woo Knife (SLKF012) is from Thunder Group * This knife features a cast iron blade attached to a smooth wooden handle * A sharp knife is safer than a dull one because it requires less pressure in cutting; Hold the knife firmly in your hand and cut away from the body * Use a wood or poly-ethylene cutting board (a hard surface does not "give" when cut upon) * Do not wash with other utensils
