But with its shorter blade, this knife is particularly lightweight and highly maneuverable for slicing, dicing, and chopping. It's ideal for medium-sized fruits, vegetables, and other foods. You can also take advantage of this curved belly, which gently “rocks” through fresh herbs or spices to produce a very fine mince. Bring professional-level performance to your kitchen. NSF certified for use in professional kitchens, it cutlery offers a razor-sharp edge, comfortable grip, precision handling and is built to stand up to the rigors of commercial use. Blades are stainless steel, hand sharpened and finished to a 16° cutting edge on each side much sharper than standard Western-style knives.
