November 4, 2008
Top chefs consider their knives the most important tools in their kitchen. The demands of the professional kitchen require different types of knives for different types of foods and different cutting tasks.
For example, the Cook’s knife, no kitchen is complete without at least one of these manually-operated food processors. It is the most essential of all knives used in the kitchen. For the coarse or fine chopping, mincing and dicing of virtually every kind of food. Perfectly balanced, an extension of your hand.
Another main knife, the Paring knife, is ideal for more delicate work. You can use it to work on items of food while holding them in your other hand. For example, for peeling potatoes or removing their blemishes, for chopping garlic or parsley, for coring peaches or apples, etc.
Other main knife, the Bread knife, enables you to cut hard, thick bread crusts quite effortlessly. You can also use it to cut very fresh bread, cake, water-melon, etc. Its blade is usually serrated and from 5 to 9 inches (13 to 23 cm) long; enough to cut slices from long or round loaves of bread.

Useful information about kitchen cutlery from Calphalon. Read the article to learn why forged kitchen knives are a much better option than stamped knives. For example, the blade of a stamped knife is punched out from a thin sheet of steel. Since they are thinner and lighter, stamped knives require that you use a firmer grip and more pressure when chopping, mincing, etc.
Forged knives are handcrafted and represent the highest quality cutlery available. A forged knife always feature a bolster and a tang. A bolster is the center support piece between the blade and the handle. The tang is the portion of the metal enclosed by the handle. Forged kitchen knives are durable, strong and remain sharp for a long time. They won’t stain, rust or add a metallic taste to your food.
