The Right Small Blade for Produce
Not every cutting job belongs to the chef's knife. Tomatoes need a serrated edge that grips the skin. Round fruit wants a curved tip. Grapefruit needs a blade shaped for the job. At Tarzian West for Housewares, Brooklyn's neighborhood kitchen store since 1977, our fruit and vegetable knife collection covers the small blades that make produce prep faster and more precise.
