  • Positiveordentliche Schnittkanten
  • Negativeviel Druck bei durchwachsenem Fleisch

Auch bei diesem Modell handelt es sich um ein Kochmesser, mit dem sich verschiedenste Lebensmittel in ordentlicher Art und Weise vorbereiten lassen. Das Gewicht ist mit 272 g ausgesprochen hoch; das Handteil schmeichelt der Hand. Dennoch ist hier wahrnehmbar Druck vonnöten, um Fleisch, Fisch und Gemüse zu zerschneiden.
