Best Kitchen Knives – Buying Guide
Here’s what to look for when buying high quality kitchen knives…
- High-Carbon Stainless Steel – considered the best material for kitchen knives – it’s strong, stainless and durable
- Forged Knives – tend to be higher priced and higher quality than most knives. They’re sturdier, less flexible and less likely to bend
- Stamped Knives – less expensive but not as strong as forged knives and are more likely to bend
- Bolster – helps balance the knife
- Full Tang – part of the blade that extends into the handle – it gives the knife balance
- Riveted Handles – offers strong support and ensures the handles won’t fall off
- Chef’s Knife – a must for cutting meat
- Paring Knife – a must for cutting fruits and vegetables
- Bread Knife – a must for cutting bread
