I have used the Classic Visual Knife Cuts Model for two decades in both the culinary education and industry setting. I have found it to be a critical tool in the development of young cooks and chefs. In education, it is the perfect complement to any skills development lab. Our students utilize the Knife Cuts Model in all of their labs. I have found throughout my time using the model that there is a direct correlation to successful student outcomes with, regards to knife skill development. Culinary students are tactile learners, and the model kit is ideal for them to use in their lab daily activity. In industry, I utilized the model when I owned my restaurant. It served as a reference guide to my staff.
