design idea - chopper the knife
Its personal preference, but if I could just use one knife for food preparation, then it would have to be a cleaver for functionality. However, I find a serrated blade as well as a sharp edge useful.
The problem with combining both cutting edges on a knife is that it can make the knife difficult to sharpen.
The quick design I came up with is to put the serrated blade on an angle, so that you can get the best of both worlds, having the straight blade closest to the handle for fast cutting control.
Just a thought.
