If our 8.5" Chef knife is the "Workhorse," our 7.5" Baja Chopper is the "Bull." With a 2.5" blade height, this knife is excellent for large projects. Rough chopping, slicing meat, or accurate vegetable cuts, this knife will get you through it all. The 27.5-degree drop-point is not only visually appealing; it is fantastic for precision work at the tip. This knife has the thinness and balance of a chef knife to accomplish any job but with added blade height, which helps with straight and accurate cuts.
