Nesmuk knives are designed with their blade geometry and extreme sharpness for the so-called pressure cut; The usual sawing movements are not required. We recommend noiseless cutting, for hitting, chopping and bumping the thin blades are not suitable. This also protects the cutting edge and increases the service life of the knife. Contact of the cutting edge with bones and frozen food should be avoided.
Hard materials such as glass, granite or marble are very unsuitable and make a knife dull quickly. Ideal are cutting pads made of wood, especially from the front wood southern German oak: This protects the finely ground blades, as you always cut from above into a fiber bundle, instead of cutting wood fibers. Thanks to the high content of natural tannic acid, oak wood is naturally antibacterial and meets high hygienic requirements.
