Top Quality Knives at Cutting Edge Prices
As every chef knows, a decent knife is the secret of successful food preparation, and the good news is that even the budget brands are competing with the big names.
Knife Know How:
A fully forced knife is made from a single block of steel, and will be of better quality than one stamped from a continuous thin strip of steel.
Knives can be either full tang- where the steel extends into the full length of the handle, or partial tang – where it only goes part of the way in. Full tang means a knife will be stronger and more balanced.
If you store knives in a block or on a magnetic strip rather than in a drawer, they will blunt less quickly.
To avoid damaging them, never cut on hard surfaces such as glass or marble. Wooden boards are the most knife-friendly.
Always dry knives immediately after washing to avoid rusting.
