Cutting and slicing ingredients might sometimes feel mechanical, but seasoned cooks and food lovers know that theres some magic behind the seemingly mundane process. Cutting the wrong way can, for example, adversely affect not only the texture of the piece, it can even ruin its flavor. More importantly, the kind of knife used also has an unseen effect on the quality of the food you will eventually put inside your mouth, not to mention the overall experience of preparing the food.This is especially true for dishes that use sensitive soft ingredients like raw fish in sashimi, and a plain old kitchen tool just doesnt cut it, pardon the pun. To really bring out the flavor of sashimi and similar dishes, you need a knife that makes you feel both like a chef and an artisan, deftly slicing with a tool whose sharpness matches its elegance.Designer: goyemonClick Here to Buy Now: $269 $299 (10% off at checkout).
