1. Always buy better quality
knife and consider it an investment because it’s impossible for anyone
to make a nice looking meal or to carve the meat into pretty slices if
you don’t have a good knife. See
details of a forged knife
2. The enjoyment of gourmet
food begins with the preparation and the right tool. Try to choose a knife
that has good construction, has right weight and gives you proper confort.
Good knife fits your hand properly, your fingernails should not dig into
your palms, blade should not feel heavy or light, and your grip should
not feel strained.
3. Cutting different types
of food requires different types of knives. There is no one universal knife
that can be used for the multitude of cutting tasks.
4. Never put your quality
knife in a dishwasher. We recommend hand washing and prompt drying to preserve
the edge.
5. Fine knives should be
touched up with a sharpening steel before each use. By doing that, you
unbend the edge and prolong the length of time before you have to sharpen
the knife with a grinder. For beginners, and for those less technically
inclined, the ceramic disc sharpener is ideal as it virtually guarantees
the proper angle is applied to the edge.
