This knife is even more beautiful and elegant in person than the images. Great balance and very sharp. They make culinary delights an experience.
栗型の持ち手が手にフィットし、トントンとリズミカルに切ることができます。うす切りも厚切りも思いのまま。調理の工程も楽しくなります。キッチンに欠かせない1本です。
一番最初に手に取ってしまうナイフ。大変使いやすいオールラウンドプレーヤーです。
ナイフのほどほどの重みは、あまり力を入れなくても食材を切り進んでくれます。
My husband likes omelettes. I like crepes. I prefer to cut the cheese for each by hand rather than using a Mouli grater. Take this challenge. Use the knife you currently have in your kitchen to cut the Gruyere cheese into a small dice. Then try the Bras #4 knife. You won’t believe the difference. Twice as easy, twice as fast and five times better results. I love these knives.
