If you’re out there in the kitchen, slaving away over your next meal and you reach for a knife, do you know what you’re reaching for?
If you’re the type to pick up anything sharp to get the job done, maybe that works for you.
But…
If you want to become a culinary pro, you need to know your kitchen knives because you could be dulling your current blades on the wrong foods!
Or worse, you could be making less impressive cuts by using the wrong blade.
Look, I know what you’re thinking:
Who cares what the shape of my onion pieces is?
Well, a lot of people care, actually!
Using the right knife can make for a better presentation in the final product or even make the task of chopping, dicing, or slicing goes much quicker.
And if having the right knife saves time in the kitchen, why not put in the effort to learn your way around the different blades?
You might even learn a few new tricks to impress your friends and family once you understand more about the different kitchen knives at your disposal and how they’re best used in your next meal!
Examples of Great Knives You Should Consider
Wanbasion 6 Pieces Matte Black Titanium Plated Knife Set
Available in three different colors (black, tarnish, and white), the Wanbasion 6 Pieces Matte Black Titanium Plated Knife Set is completely dishwasher safe so you won’t have to risk cutting yourself if any of the knives ever get too dirty.
Wanbasion knife set is made of high-hardness stainless steel material to ensure that the blade will not bend or break even after using it for a very long time, which makes it safer. Furthermore, they use natural black titanium metal on the blade instead of black spray paint. As such, you’ll have no problems such as dye falling off, food safety, and aesthetic defects caused by scratching on the knife’s surface.
All in all, the set is fantastic to use and each knife cuts like a charm. What’s more, the company promises to offer customer support even long after the initial purchase, and the user reviews showcase the fact that they indeed keep their word.
FineTool Professional Chef Knives Set
The knife makers at this company use eight processes in which they repeatedly grind, laser cut, and sharpen the blade to near perfection. Each knife’s resistance temperature ranges from 180 to 1800 degrees, which is more than impressive.
The knife neck and tail use a steel pad design, all steel materials, a better sense of balance, and more care can thus be given to your index finger to prevent accidental cuts and whatnot. Furthermore, the design of each knife is projected in such a way that it feels much more comfortable on your thumb and other fingers as well.
All in all, this set is neat and well-made, and considering the relatively low price, you can’t go wrong by giving it a shot.
