More Kitchen Knife Technique
Posted By Randy on March 29, 2010
In a previous LFM article titled Kitchen Knife Technique I exposed you all to the teachings of Chad Ward, author of An Edge in the Kitchen. Today’s post introduces some exquisite knife work using what many of us would regard as an unlikely tool – the Nepalese khukuri.
The khukuri is famous as the ever present blade of the Gurkha soldiers, and while most view it exclusively as a weapon, it gets forgotten that the khukuri is actually an all purpose blade that may often be the only knife a Gurkha owns. The one in the video that follows came from a company called Himalayan Imports. Their products are of the highest quality; endorsed, regularly used, and recommended without reservation by the Large Fierce Mammal.
There is a saying – “Beware of the man who shoots only one gun.” Watch this video, and then tell me that this advice can’t also extend to the knife.
