Knives

Picking out a knife set, is a big matter of preference. They come in alot of different weights, and strengths. The stronger the metal the harder it is to sharpen but then you wont have to sharpen it as much as a softer blade. So spend sometime thinking, try some different knives and pick as set that works for YOU. I have mostly german made knives, I don't like to sharpen knives and they are strong so I don't have to sharpen as much. I also have a swedish carving knife which I really like.

The most important thing about using your knives is to make sure they are ALWAYS sharp. Hold up a sheet of paper and lightly press on the top with the blade, and if it cuts smoothly through it should be sharp enough. Remember if your knives are dull then you stand a better chance of them slipping and you cutting yourself.

Happy Chopping!
