Zwilling Chinese Chef's Knife Gourmet 36112-181-0 18 cm

When preparing healthy dishes that require cutting various vegetables, onions, and meat, a good all-purpose knife is essential. The Chinese chef's knife from the Zwilling Gourmet series is an excellent choice, as its unique shape offers a wide range of uses. It features a large, nearly rectangular blade and a horizontal edge, making it visually similar to a classic cleaver. While a cleaver is primarily designed for cutting through bones, this 18 cm Chinese version should not be used for that purpose. The blade is thinner than that of a cleaver, making it better suited for slicing. True professionals also use the large surface of the blade to transport finely chopped ingredients into a wok or pot. The well-balanced handle aids in this, as it is connected with three rivets in line with the spine of the blade, providing ample space for a comfortable grip. The knife is pleasantly lightweight. The Friodur blade has been further refined through a special ice-hardening process, making it particularly durable and long-lasting. With Zwilling's lightweight Chinese chef's knife, you can expertly chop vegetables and more, whether you're a home cook or a professional.
