Chef Aid 5 Inch Stainless Steel Utility Knife with Soft Grip Handle

Product Information

Unique Design: The wooden children's knife has an integrated handle design, the child can use the wooden blade more easily, which is safe and labor-saving. Three serrated toddler knives and a plastic chef's knife of different shapes are all designed with serrated teeth, these will help safeguard little fingers from the dangers and risks of sharp metal knives. The average optimum length of a chef’s knife is 8in (around 20cm), although 6in blades are popular, especially among novice cooks. Finding the right size blade for you is important, though, as it will improve prep times and the accuracy of your cut. We’d always suggest starting out with a smaller blade, but if you have particularly big hands you might prefer a larger option from the get-go. How do you keep your knife in tip-top condition? Bolster This is the balancing point between the blade and the handle. It provides support, balance and protection for your fingers. Mac knives are popular among pro and semi-pro chefs who rave about the Japanese company’s attention to detail, the quality of its metals, its impressive manufacturing process, the weight and balance of its knives and, above all, the slimness and sharpness of its blades. Wide Application: These children's real cooking knives can be widely used for fruit, vegetable, cake, salad, cheese and more, suitable for children to learn how to cut. Let your child become a good helper for you. Also exercise children's hands-on ability, which is the best gift for children.

We investigate the most popular and bestselling chef's knives. We buy all the knives we test. Sharpness test After completing the paper test, we ran each knife through a series of vegetable tests to see how they performed using different food textures. To test basic prep functionality, we diced an onion both coarsely and finely, which helped us assess the sharpness of the blade as well as how easy they were to use. We made sure to use both the blade tip and the blade's belly to determine if the edge was consistent. Safety and Durable Kids Knife: The real cooking kids knives are made of wood and high quality food grade polypropylene. The kids potato cutting knife is made of high quality stainless steel and PP material. This children's kitchen knife set is convenient and safe to use, with high quality and not easily damaged, so that children can enjoy the fun brought by cooking. Full tang The steel extends through the full handle. In these knives, the balance tends to be towards the handle. Knifemakers say that this type of tang makes a more robust knife.There are plenty of names for the proper hold on a chef’s knife. Some describe it as a handshake while others talk about a pinch grip. Generally, the thumb and forefinger are doing all the work, while the other three fingers grasp the handle more gently. With the proper grip, cutting will feel easy and comfortable, and the knife will always be under complete control. The Dalstrong Phantom Series 9.5” chef knife has a kiritsuke shape, with a sword like front end and straighter edge than its shorter 8” brother, allowing it to excel at push cuts. This long blade with stunning geometry is highly versatile and deadly effective. From slicing fish to chopping vegetables, this is a gorgeous addition to any serious chef’s knife bag.

The knife was easy to maneuver to crush garlic cloves and then mince them. Cutting onions was smooth and easy, too. While cutting the butternut squash, we were able to make smooth cuts, though thought a slightly heavier knife would have required less effort. This knife cleaned easily with very few spots. The price is justified by the fact that it takes Savernake’s Laurie Timpson, interviewed at the top of this feature, and his team 50 hours to handcraft this Nakiri – which, despite its meat cleaver-like appearance, is actually for slicing vegetables. The handle is shaped for both comfort and safety (it comes with a deep one-inch finger-protecting bolster) and fashioned from what looks and feels like high-quality ebony. The handle – expertly chamfered with steel studs to keep it in place – is honed to give it a smooth texture that should remain that way as long as you never, ever put it in the dishwasher. Mac Knives have a long-standing reputation for quality Japanese craftsmanship, so it's no surprise the Professional Series 8-Inch Hollow Edge Knife was the top overall choice in our testing. The hollow edge is the standout feature of this knife. It's balanced, easy to use, and cuts well, thanks to its lightweight design (6.75 ounces) and thin 2.5-millimeter blade and bolster. Plus, its Pakkawood handle offers a comfortable grip.

Caring for your knives Whether you’re an accomplished chef looking to add to your collection, or a budding cook plumping for whole knife set, having the right set of knives in your kitchen is essential. But just where do you start to choose the best kitchen knives for you? They all seem strong, sharp, and up to the job, but which ones are a cut above the rest? Do you choose a full tang, fully forged knife, a ceramic blade or a standard stainless-steel blade with a comfy plastic handle? Next, we evaluated each knife by cutting through a tomato whose skins are taut and slippery. Tomatoes are notoriously hard to cut without mashing them, and chefs often use a serrated knife to help manage the uncooperative skins. Therefore, they serve as an appropriate test of blade sharpness and handle grip. We noted which knives could achieve thin, even slices and which caused the skins to wrinkle and tear.

We’re breaking with chef’s knife tradition here and recommending a much smaller blade than the 8-inch norm. The 11cm (4.3in) Signature Santoku is the perfect size and form for light duties such as preparing vegetables, fish and smaller cuts of meat. This is the longest blade here (9.88in), so it’s the one to grab for cutting large vegetables and fruit such as swedes, pumpkins and watermelons. That said, in our test it was just as adept at dealing with smaller, more delicate tasks such as slicing meats, fish, tomatoes, cucumber and carrots. Mercer Culinary Renaissance 8-Inch Forged Chef's Knife: This knife failed our first test. When attempting to test sharpness out of the box, it could not slice through paper and crumpled it. We had no trouble mincing garlic or cubing butternut squash but found it difficult to achieve uniform cuts in the tomato test butA general-use ‘softer’ steel knife can range from 54-56, while more professional style premium blades, from 58-64 at the upper end. The higher the rating, the thinner the blade can be forged, creating a finer, sharper cutting edge but there are trade-offs as knives this hard can be brittle, chip if misused and take longer to sharpen. Unlike knives that have an attached handle, this entire knife is made from stainless steel, with no joints, rivets, or corners where food could accumulate. To provide a better grip, the handle has dimples that create a textured surface. The knife is designed to be lightweight (despite being made entirely from metal), so it’s easy to wield. Made from molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel, the blade is razor-sharp and will retain its edge, and it comes with a lifetime warranty against breakage. It sailed through every real-world task we threw at it, including the swede. However, it didn’t quite slice as thinly as the TOG or Victorinox. If you’re after a classic, easy-to-use chef’s knife that looks gorgeous and will last ages, hold its sharpness and survive a few drops, then this is the one for you. We love how this knife came seriously sharp right out of the box and maintained its edge well during our testing. Garlic cloves were easily smashed and neatly minced. The Victorinox also cut through and cubed a heavy butternut squash without any issues. Although it didn't feel as nimble as more expensive knives, we were able to cut through an onion skin comfortably. While slicing a tomato, the first slice was fine with no tearing, though further clean slices were tougher to get. This knife easily achieved paper-thin cuts in our tomato test and easily chopped and minced garlic. Though the super-sharp blade could slice through the squash, we should note that having a heavier knife might be better for tough, dense ingredients. This knife should be hand-washed using warm water and mild detergent. We found cleaning easy, though some ingredients left spots on the metal.

After using this knife for many years, our editors can attest to its quality, so long as you care for it properly. Make sure to hand wash and fully dry in between each use, and store it in a way that will safely preserve the razor-sharp edge. This isn’t a knife to show off to your friends, but it cuts, slices and dices with unflappable poise. For the discerning home cook for whom only the best-quality equipment will do, this Wüsthof is a worthwhile addition to the cutlery collection.Cast from high-quality German DIN 1.4116 stainless steel and with a hand-applied 15° Japanese-style edge for superior cutting power, this is one of the sharpest blades in this roundup, and it will stay that way for a very long time if properly cared for. That means no dishwashers and no mixing it with other knives or cutlery. In our sharpness test, it easily sliced a dropped grape and had no problem dealing with a soft tomato.
