One knife is enough

You are right, could you peel a tomato with a knife like this one?

For Chinese chef, a knife is enough.

@Freewings of courseyou are referring to your countrymen, no debate

That's cool! She sounds to be professional

I agree with you @ilocosboy whatever it is, most mother is always diligent in doing so

Most mother are like that for home cook, they use one knife only but of course its for the family.

@youless Oh ok

@m_audrey6788 Perhaps the habit can be different everywhere. For example, if I buy meat, such as pork or beef, sometimes I even ask the the seller to cut it for me

I think most Chinese buy the bread from the bakery and usually they are well cut already. Since I bake the bread on my own, I have a bread knife.

I think not many foreigners like you who use one knife only. As I see they have a set of various kinds of knives and look like everybody is a good chef

@youless Honest I oon´t care for many knives for me one is enough and if I have to buy another one its one what I like the feel of not too sharp like a lot are and I am not a good chef like those on the television you know those wizards of the Kitchen. I just love natural food cooked normally and not turned into something I cannot recognize as being what it was.

In fact it is amazing to see how Chinese chef to cut different food with this kind of knife.

@Freewings Well one knife does not meet the need of an European chef.

The one you've talked about is the slice knife of western style kitchen knives, which looks like a Chinese kitchen knife. In the past, a knife could meet all the needs of a Chinese chef.

I can imagine that

Good point
