When you want exceptional carving knives
with razor sharp edges it can be daunting to determine which knife maker offers
the best knife. Professional chefs spend a lifetime building and caring for
their knife portfolio; as an amateur chef or home cook it’s hard to know what
exactly makes a knife worthy and which knives will perform well over time. It’s
always a good idea to begin with a known manufacturer – Kershaw brand
knives for example, when choosing fine cutlery because you know a reputable
manufacturer will stand behind the goods they design and make.
Regardless of maker the materials and the design of any
knife are what determine the quality and performance. Craftsmanship is
essential – there should be no irregularities of any kind and all joints should
be seamless; the connection of the bolster and the tang should be perfect. Any
irregularities can harbor germs and bacteria and any loosening or wiggle room
is an invitation to disaster. Should any of your current knives have such
deficiencies it would be a wise idea to replace them as soon as possible for
both safety and hygiene reasons.
