So what are the best kitchen knives? What's the number one tip for buying the best kitchen knives? There are a few simple rules or guidelines when shopping for a good knife. Take it from me... I was a chef for over 17 years. I had a knife in my hand all day. So I'm pretty certain I'll steer you in the right direction. The first thing to consider is... The Weight of The Knife There are generally TWO types of knives, Forged and Stamped. A forged knife is made in a completely different (and more expensive) way than a stamped knife. The choice you make will determine the price you pay. So... in my opinion, and experience, I can say that you really don't need to spend a lot on a good knife. The good quality stamped professional kitchen knives are what I have used for years. A heavy forged knife is good 'if that's what you prefer', but it's not necessary. I have always used and believe that the Victorinox stamped knives are the best kitchen knives. So... the first tip is to figure out if you want a light or heavy knife. Once you have decided the next thing to consider is... The Size of The knife A knife that's too big is like using a sword. And a knife that's too small will limit the type of tasks you can do. The best size to use is around 20cm - 25cm knife for general tasks. This size is generally the size most chefs will use. It's a safe size to handle. Chopping, slicing, dicing and carving are just a few of the things you can do with the right size knife. You'll also need a paring knife for a lot of the smaller jobs, and of course a bread knife. Will it Stay Sharp? A proper German kitchen knives should stay sharp. It should not only have the ability to staying sharp for a reasonable period, but should also be easy to re-sharpen. There is nothing more frustrating or dangerous than a blunt knife, and not everyone knows how to sharpen knives Victorinox kitchen knives have the best reputation for having the right mix between an easy-tosharpen knife, and a knife that stays sharp.
A sharp knife is a chefs best friend, so it's helpful to know how to choose the right knife. Victorinox are my pick when it comes to choosing the best kitchen knives.
