Using your Oyo Opal Bread Knife is a breeze. When slicing bread, hold the handle firmly and use a gentle sawing motion. This will make sure you get even slices every time. As for safety, always keep your fingers away from the blade while cutting. And when you're done, make sure to put it back in the leather sheath to avoid any accidental cuts. To keep your knife in top shape, hand - wash it with warm, soapy water right after use. Don't put it in the dishwasher as the harsh detergents and high - pressure water can damage the blade and handle. After washing, dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth. You can also periodically sharpen the blade using a good quality knife sharpener to maintain its sharpness. With proper care, this knife will serve you well for a long time.
