Stalgast Horizontal Decoration Knife 140 mm

A horizontal decoration knife slices food parallel to the worktop, creating thin, even sheets or intricate patterns without lifting the blade. The blade runs flat along the surface, allowing the operator to guide the cut with one hand while holding the food steady with the other. This method gives consistent thickness and a clean finish, essential for garnishes, vegetable ribbons or layered presentations.

To use the knife, the operator places the food on a stable cutting board. The blade is positioned horizontally at the desired starting point, then drawn smoothly through the food in a single motion. The length of the blade determines the maximum width of each cut, while the operator's pressure controls the thickness. The process is repeated until the food is shaped or portioned as required.

The knife is constructed from stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and ease of cleaning. The 140 mm blade length suits small to medium ingredients, allowing precise control without requiring excessive force. The compact size also makes the knife easy to store in a drawer or on a magnetic strip when not in use.

Cleaning is straightforward: the blade is washed immediately after use to prevent food residue hardening, then dried to maintain the edge. Regular honing keeps the blade sharp, ensuring each cut remains clean and effortless.
