What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing is inconsistent about bone use: some claims describe chopping ribs and bones, while care guidance says to avoid joints and hard bones and other text excludes beef and extremely hard bones. Treat it as intended for pork and poultry and avoid thick or hard bones. The 7.67-inch size and 30.5-centimetre total length are separately listed, with the measured meaning of the size not clarified.
