MASAMOTO HYPER MOLIBDENUM GYUTO/CHEF’S KNIFE

Versatile chef’s knife and it is suitable for preparing western cuisine.   It can be used for meat, fish and vegetables. For vegetables, it is used to chop or thrust cut like a **"nakkiri" near the heel, to rock-chop stiffer produce in the belly, and to make fine cuts at the tip. For meat, it is used to saw back and forth for large cuts, to pull cut for softer meats; for a better surface finish, and to push cut for more sinewy meat. There is usually a slope from heel to the tip which causes the wrist to point down and shoulder to raise up to make cuts.
