Equipped with a wide, rectangular blade without a tip and a straight cutting edge with a lowered chin, this knife was designed for precise cutting of dough into thin, even strands. The handle placed closer to the center of the blade allows for an even distribution of force during cutting, which is crucial when working with flat, folded dough.
