Carl Mertens - COUNTRY - Chef's knife 20 cm

Weighing, chopping and cutting a wide variety of foods - shaping and flattening, picking up food and cracking nuts or shellfish.

The chef's knife is the classic and the heart of the professional kitchen. It is the absolutely most important kitchen gadget with which you can master a multitude of tasks that arise in the kitchen.

It is ideal for cutting herbs and vegetables, but also for slicing and cutting up meat and fish. The long, wide, curved blade enables the professional cutting technique: weighing. During the cradle cut, one hand grips the handle, the other stabilises the tip. By moving the handle up and down, herbs, for example, are finely cut. The tip of the knife remains on the cutting board.
