{"title":"Meat knives","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhy a high-quality meat knife is essential\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone who wants to cut meat cleanly needs a sharp meat knife with a precise and well-balanced blade. It glides through the food in a controlled way without unnecessarily tearing the fibres. This creates clean cut surfaces, attractive presentation and comfortable work in the kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt MISAKI, meat knives mean a curated selection of knives that are particularly well suited to cutting meat. These are mainly chef knives and Santoku knives. Both knife shapes are versatile and, in addition to meat, are also suitable for fish, vegetables and herbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you are portioning a piece of meat, slicing cooked meat or preparing ingredients for a dish: sharpness, control and a blade that moves calmly through the food are decisive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich knives are suitable for cutting meat?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnives for cutting meat should be sharp, stable and easy to control. The blade should glide cleanly through the meat without requiring much pressure. This helps preserve the structure of the meat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor precise meat cuts, high sharpness, balanced weight and controlled blade guidance are especially important. Many high-quality kitchen knives meet these requirements and are very well suited to daily meat preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt MISAKI, we particularly recommend selected \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/misaki-knives.ch\/en\/collections\/chef-knives\"\u003echef knives\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/misaki-knives.ch\/en\/collections\/santoku-knives\"\u003eSantoku knives\u003c\/a\u003e for this purpose.

A sharp Damascus blade requires less pressure. This helps the meat keep its shape better during cutting and makes the cut surface look cleaner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MISAKI knives from the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/misaki-knives.ch\/en\/collections\/hikari-line\"\u003eHIKARI line\u003c\/a\u003e are made from 67 layers of Damascus steel.

The \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/misaki-knives.ch\/en\/collections\/akane-line\"\u003eAKANE line\u003c\/a\u003e uses 73 layers of Damascus steel with a powder steel core. This creates a blade with particularly strong edge retention and powerful presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor daily work with meat, this means less effort, cleaner cuts and a knife that remains precise even after many uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCutting correctly for optimal results\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor clean meat cuts, the knife is not the only decisive factor. Technique also matters. Work with a sharp blade and let the knife glide through the meat in a controlled way. Avoid unnecessary pressure. A precise meat cut comes from sharpness and steady guidance, not force.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways cut meat on a suitable surface, ideally on a high-quality \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/misaki-knives.ch\/en\/collections\/cutting-boards\"\u003ewooden cutting board\u003c\/a\u003e. Hard surfaces such as glass or stone can damage the edge. Bones, frozen food or very hard parts should not be cut with a chef knife or Santoku.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter cutting, the knife should be cleaned by hand and dried immediately. This protects the blade and preserves the natural beauty of the handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeat knife or chef knife: when does specialization make sense?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA high-quality kitchen knife is one of the most versatile knives in the kitchen.
