Prepworks Bash 'n Chop

While it is excellent for chopping softer vegetables, herbs, and dough, it is designed as a bench scraper rather than a heavy-duty chef's knife. It works best for portioning and scooping pre-chopped ingredients rather than breaking down dense, raw produce.

The six-inch ruler is etched directly into the stainless steel blade. This ensures the measurements won't fade or wear off over time, even with frequent washing and heavy use.

The edge is beveled to be effective for cutting through dough and soft ingredients, but it is not razor-sharp like a kitchen knife. It is safe to handle while still being functional enough to scrape and portion ingredients cleanly.

Yes, the stainless steel construction is dishwasher safe. Because it is a single piece of metal without complex moving parts or crevices, it is very easy to clean by hand as well.

A chef's knife is designed for precision cutting, but using the blade to scrape ingredients off a board can dull the edge. The Bash 'n Chop has a wide, flat surface that makes scooping up piles of chopped vegetables or dough much faster and safer for both your knife and your hands.
