Whether chopping, slicing, or dicing, this knife’s ergonomic, lighter weight makes it the go-to blade for every occasion. The broadly curved shape facilitates the rocking motion of Western cutting, while the straight back is ideal for the Asian chopping motion, promoting a comfortable grip during long kitchen sessions. Crafted from a single piece of carbon steel, it retains its sharpness longer for exceptional performance year after year. Pairing Zwilling’s trademark quality and precision craftsmanship with the vision of renowned Italian architect Matteo Thun, Le Blanc features a unique bolster that encourages a professional-style pinch grip and allows for easy sharpening along the blade’s entire length.
