The relatively flat edge works well for push cutting, and the pointed tip helps with precise cuts. It is a useful everyday knife for cooks who prefer a shorter blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs SG2 stainless, and how should I care for it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSG2 is stainless steel, but the knife should still be hand washed and dried immediately. Use a wood or knife-friendly synthetic cutting board, avoid bones and frozen food, and never twist the edge through a cut. Sharpen with whetstones when needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the blade-only option include a handle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Select Carbon Fiber Handle for the assembled knife, or Blade Only for a custom handle project.
