And pick up the Japanese style chef’s knife, the Santoku knife. If you don’t recognize the name you would probably recognize the knife in person. You’ve most likely seen these in stores or in open-kitchen restaurants, they look like a cross between a cleaver and a traditional chef’s knife. Although they are made for slicing, dicing, and mincing they can replace your chef’s knife as an all-purpose kitchen cutter. They can also come with dimples or scallops in the side of the blade to allow cutoffs to more easily separate from the blade. Think about the last time you tried to dice a cucumber and had to remove each piece individually, and how much quicker tasks like that would be if you had a Santuko knife.  I don’t own one yet but the fiance and I registered for one for our wedding and we’re excited for the day we get it.
