How to core and chop an apple with a thin Japanese knife. At least how we recommend doing it, but you do you.
No. The cutting board is not the same as an apple seed. Just getting ahead of that one.
Can you slice through the center of an apple core? Yes. Can a thin Japanese knife go through an apple seed? Yes. Should you avoid it because we get messages all the time in Customer Service of people complaining about their knives chipping because they “just cut an apple.” Yes.
Can and should are very different things.
