Pro Tip: The N°113 is a favourite among home cooks because micro-serrations remain incredibly sharp over years of heavy use without requiring regular sharpening like standard straight-edge knives. To preserve the warm texture and structural lifespan of the varnished beechwood handle, avoid putting it in the dishwasher or leaving it submerged in a wet sink. Simply hand-wash the stainless steel blade with warm, soapy water after your food prep, wipe it completely dry immediately, and store it safely in your knife block.
