A rocker knife is a curved blade designed to cut by rocking back and forth.
With moderate downward pressure a clean cut is made with one pass from side to side.
The technique of rocking replaces the need for strong pressure.
The Equalizer is a Multi-Blade rocker knife and the All Steel Rocker Knife is a single blade. All use the same technique, replacing the need for strength.
A flat surface, such as a pizza cutting board, is important for an effective cut.
Center the pizza on the cutting board. This will help you to center The Equalizer.
Center The Equalizer on the pizza. Extend fingers on either side to feel the edges of the cutting board.
Push down firmly, not hard, to set The Equalizer blades.
With a firm motion, rock once across each blade at opposite points.
Move to another position and rock again.
Rock each blade once or twice across the pizza.
Develop your technique as a pattern you can repeat. You don't need a lot of muscle with The Equalizer. Relax and rock!
Use caution when cleaning and handling. The Equalizer is dishwasher safe.
Designed to work best sharp, blades need to be resharpened after cutting 2000 pizzas. Make 2-3 firm strokes across each blade using the hand tool.
Sharpening leaves metal burrs, keep away from food areas.
The blades should be sharp enough to slice copy paper without tearing.
The hand sharpener is included FREE with every Equalizer.
Follow the instructions on the previous pages, then try a few variations until you find the method that works best for you.
If the pizza still isn't completely cut through, make certain to check for the following:
- You are rocking The Equalizer all the way across the pie.
- The blades are sharp. (Note: the blades should be sharp enough to slice copy paper without tearing.)
- You have placed the pie on a cutting board prior to cutting. (Note: the surface must be perfectly flat. A stainless steel tabletop will not work with The Equalizer)
