Hash Knife

[Byrd666]

What type of rotor are you talking about? Like a brake rotor for a motorcycle?

I was thinking of a small car, disc brake type. I don't see why a motorcycle rotor wouldn't work though. It was something I read about a while back where some knife maker was making knives out of truck rotors. Made sense to me when I read it. Then again, I wasn't making/building anything from them and didn't have to worry about specifics.

IIRC, some leatherworkers will a ulu type knife for some various leather working tasks.

Fleshing hides.

First time I heard the term, "hash knife" was used by Kent Rollins. I have seen other celebrity chefs use a variation of these, and I called them a ulu style knife.

The ultimate cowboy cooking tool. This knife is a traditional style used by many cooks going down the trail in the 1800s and still is an essential tool on our chuck wagon. It's a dicer, chopped, scraper, flipper. Hand forged by blacksmith and master craftsman, Tom Willoughby, each knife is hand…

I have seen bakery dough knives/ block scrappers used in kitchens. I also know a Mexican that used 2 Chinese cleavers for chopping taco fill both raw and while it cooked on a griddle!

I use a cleaver with a somewhat curved blade for all my chopping and dicing. I like the fact that doing that stuff with a cleaver requires both hands on it to do it the best - one on the handle other on the spine of the blade. Keeps my hands out of the way of being sliced & diced. That one handed job makes me think I might inadvertently place my off hand in the path of the blade while dicing cilantro, onions or whatever.

I bet you wouldn't make the same mistake more than twice. Three times tops. By then all the extra stuff on your hand would be trimmed off.

I just keep parts of my hands out from under the blade, which seems to work just find for me. Still have all nine fingers!

If you watch "Life Below Freezing" you'll see Agnes Hailstone using one of these quite often.
