A spreading knife is an essential kitchen tool designed for precise and controlled application of healthy spreads, nut butters, and other toppings. Its wide, flat blade allows for smooth, even distribution, making it perfect for preparing nutritious sandwiches, bagels, and toast. Unlike regular knives, a spreading knife's rounded tip and flexible blade prevent tearing delicate breads while ensuring perfect portion control for spreads like avocado, hummus, or yogurt-based toppings. This versatile tool is particularly valuable for health-conscious cooks who want to maintain portion control and create beautifully presented, nutritious meals.
