The Knife Block

In Part 2 of this series, I listed the 3-5 knives you should be sure to have in your kitchen.  You can find these varieties in knife sets.  Make sure you play close attention to what is included in the set.  Often you will find the set includes knife types you will rarely use so you are better off buying separates.  In the final article of this series I will cover care and storage of your kitchen knives.

In Part 1 of this series, I talked about the key features in a kitchen knife.  To be clear, I believe you should seek out forged knives with full tang for all the knives in your tool kit.  If your budget won’t allow that, at least choose one knife with these features.

Knives are your most important tools in the kitchen.  This 3 part series on kitchen knives will help you make the best knife choice.  The first thing well touch on are the major features of your typical kitchen knife so you know what to look for when selecting the right kitchen knife for you.
