Sandwich Knife
Model CK 06
An 6 inch Chef's Knife or Sandwich Knife is fashioned from 440C stainless tool steel, hardened and tempered to 60 HRC for robust edge retention. The wooden handle is tapered to fit your hand comfortably. The light weight balanced knife makes food preparation a pleasure.
The 6 inch Chef's knife, also known as a Sandwich Knife is the utility knife for everyday tasks. The long broad blade allows the chef to cut over the entire cutting board surface efficiently. The 3/4 inch relief between the heel of the blade and the handle allows slicing and dicing on the cutting board without knocking his (or her) knuckles. The six inch blade length is designed to provide precise control while cutting fruits, vegetables and meats. A chef will place the tip of the blade on the board and push the long cutting edge through the food with a rocking motion. The width of cut is determined by holding the blade against the knuckle of the hand holding the food on the board. Thus with two anchor points the chef has very precise control of the cutting edge.
The shorter blade is perfect for trimming meats, mincing garlic, and ginger root. The 1 1/2 inch wide blade is great for spreading condiments on sandwich bread. One can make repeatable pleasingly shaped slices, dices, minced or chopped ingredients for the meal. With a little practice, this can be done quite rapidly and safely.
