Definitely Not A Traditional Knife
After many years of using a traditional kitchen knife, anything new will seem strange at first. But, learn the basics and the NULU will soon feel familiar and intuitive. Before long, you will understand why we say that NULU is "the knife that adapts to you!"
4 Basic Grips
There are four ways to hold the NULU to achieve a variety of cutting techniques.This is the most common grip for slicing, rocker cutting and cleaving. The Fore Grip also provides a fluid transition to the Chopping Grip.
Chopping GripWhen it comes to chopping and dicing, the NULU provides effortless precision and force with low strain on muscles and joints. It is also very useful when cutting through tough it items like rinds, gristle and nuts.
Axe GripThe Axe Grip is useful for cleaving, shaving and breaking up larger items. It also works well when fine slicing with the portion of the blade nearest to the tip.
Mincing GripThe NULU works perfectly for two-hand rocker cutting and fine mincing of garlic, onion, herbs and meat.
