    Care:

    Wash and dry with a soft sponge, and safely store after use. Avoid cutting into bones, frozen foods, hard fruit pits.

    Cutting Surface:

    Recommended cutting surface: wood, rubberized boards and high-end composites, and quality plastics such as polyethene make acceptable cutting surfaces, and will help protect and prolong knife’s edge. AVOID glass, metal, countertops, and other rigid, non-forgiving surfaces.

    Sharpening:

    We recommend sharpening all quality Japanese knives on whetstones, as we believe they yield the best results for your knives.

    Great for small dog fetch
    Style: 14" Length Sport Launcher
    We love this for keeping our hands clean and saving our shoulders while playing fetch. Not sure why this size is so incredibly difficult to find (not in any stores in our area). It fits both the small rubber and tennis ball types. We have a 15lb rat terrier, and he loves it.

    Ball is very small
    Style: 14" Length Sport Launcher
    It says it’s for small dogs up to 15LB. My doggie is 15 LB and this is way small. It’s a tiny ball. If your dog is 12LB to 20LB I would get the next size up to small.

    Comes with a fabric covered ball
    Style: 14" Length Sport Launcher
    Disappointed in this. I have the large size and expected a smaller version of the rubber ball. Instead this came with a ball covered in fabric. The dogs I bought it for won't play with the ball. Maybe it is my fault for not reading more closely but why would Chuck-It even sell something so cheap and poorly made. Dogs can easily rip the fabric off the rubber (which is in two pieces). Very strangely made. Now I have buy a ball to use it.
