Knife Excellent
Knife Excellent
I am looking to buy one quality, multipurpose kitchen knife. What would be the best type for me?
I primarly use a knife for fresh produce and occasionally meat. So basic as can be...nothing fancy, therefore i'd hate to invest in a cutlery set. I'm just looking for one excellent knife- but i get confused when i look thru sites and stores because they are all sorts of shapes, sizes, have all sorts of names...and i am clueless what I'm actually looking for. What is type of knife should i get?
Buy the best 8 or 10 inch Chef's knife you can afford. If you get a good knife, also invest in a good sharpener for it. I MUCH prefer a straight (not serrated) edge but they do require sharpening. I recommend a good high carbon blade (Chicago Cutlery comes to mind) and a Chef's Choice (ir equivalent) three stage sharpener. You will in this case pay more for the sharpener than for the knife but, unless you are an expert sharpener, it is worth it. A dull $200 knife is worthless while a very sharp $30 knife is more than adequate!!!!
