Global 40th Anniversary Edition Asian Chef's Knife

The chef's knife is an absolute essential for any kitchen. This Asian Chef's Knife 4.33" blade has a smaller blade for more precision and is suitable for most slicing, dicing, and chopping kitchen tasks. The attractive kink in the blade gives the knife an "oriental" style, but it bears no meaning to the function of the knife. It is not designed specifically for oriental food or oriental ways of using a knife, it is just a different shape of a chef's knife. It does have a beautiful upward curve to the blade, which when cutting allows the knife to rock up and down on the chopping board, a bit like a mezzaluna. Made in Japan.
