About this deal

Alongside knives for preparing and serving food, there are also several variations of standard cutlery knives available. The most common is a simple dinner knife, of course. Used in almost every meal (and not just dinner), this knife is usually made from stainless steel. While designs vary, it often has a gently serrated edge for cutting through food. A serrated edge made up of small ridges and sharpened grooves for sawing can be used to cut through denser produce. Interestingly, serrated blades are also useful for slicing through soft foods that may get crushed out of shape with too much force. This is why a tomato knife has a serrated edge. You’ll also commonly find a serrated edge on a bread knife and a steak knife – two everyday favourites. But knives are just knives, we hear you say? Not true. Every kitchen knife is not made equally. From forged to stamped knives, stainless steel to ceramic, serrated to a straight edge, there is a massive range of designs, styles and materials to choose from. We all may think we know what a kitchen knife is. Still, there’s a world of difference between your standard dinner knife and the kind of razor-sharp Japanese blade that can slice open a can. Before we explain the difference between a Santoku and a chef’s knife or how to use a mezzaluna, let’s start with the everyday essentials. After all, not all of us are whizzes in the kitchen who fillet fish and trim the meat from bones.

This may sound more like the kind of blade you’d get in an armoury and actually, you wouldn’t be wrong. That’s where Damascus steel comes from. Nowadays, we have less need for swords and much more of a use for fine kitchen knives of course. Still, Damascus steel remains in high demand thanks to its exceptional quality. The heel is the bottom, lower edge of the blade itself. It is sometimes the widest point of the blade and comes into play when an extra force is needed during chopping or slicing. Specially designed for deep cuts around bone, ligaments, and muscle, the narrow, sturdy, dagger-like boning knife is essential for butchery and deboning meat and fish.Now you’ve got your knives sorted and you know how to care for them, it’s time to learn how to chop. Whether you want to know how to use a knife as a chef does, or just need advice on the best way to slice and dice meat, fish, vegetables, (and any other produce), we have tips to help you feel like a pro. There are three main ways to chop produce. This small knife with a smooth, short blade is a kitchen essential. You’ll use it for chopping and deseeding chillies, coring and slicing fruit, chopping herbs, and trimming veg. It’s ideal for those jobs that require a sharp point and a smaller blade. Although it’s also called a vegetable knife, you can use a paring knife for jobs like deveining prawns too. While our next selection of knives is a little fancier, you still don’t need to be honing your butchery or fine-dining skills to appreciate them. Although these kitchen knives may look more advanced, they’re useful and practical knives for every home cook, from beginners right through to budding professionals.

The king of kitchen knives and a chef’s best friend. The chef’s knife is a large, broad, all-purpose knife that’s equally at home chopping and dicing as it is preparing meat and hard vegs like potatoes and onions.When it comes to ‘on trend’ kitchen utensils, knives are always in. Why? Because they’re essential and they can also be instruments of extraordinary quality that transform the way you cook. Without the right knowledge, you could spend money on knives you don’t need or end up with low quality when you do need something professional. As well as variations in style, material and quality, all knives are best at specific tasks, whether that’s chopping vegetables or filleting fish. The right blade for one job might not be suitable for others, so it’s essential to have a set that you can rely on for a range of different applications. They will help you prepare food safer, faster and cleaner than before, and significantly enhance the quality of your meals. Blades made using Damascus steel have an unmistakable mottled pattern, which gives it a stunning appearance. This comes from the fact that it uses two or more alloys, often both hard and soft, forged together to create a blade that’s sharp, strong, and durable. No wonder the process has been used to make swords, knives and other weapons for hundreds of years.

While it doesn’t have a fancy name, the cleaver is another essential if you’re into butchery. It’s an old-school classic often used to cleave through meat and bone.Easy and simple, the cross chop is an excellent technique for fine chopping. Placing the tip of your knife on the chopping board, raise the blade to an angle of around 20 degrees. Then, raise and lower the handle of the knife repeatedly while keeping the tip of the knife on the board. Once done, use the blade to sweep your finely chopped ingredients to one side. This is nothing to do with taste. It’s the part of the blade that fits in the handle, contributing to the weight, balance and durability of the knife. The tang can also effectively act as a handle in specific designs. Knives with ‘full-tang’, where the metal runs from end to end, are considered most balanced. A long, supple blade for filleting and skinning fish, this is the tool you’ll need if you’ve ever wanted to buy a whole fish and give filleting a try. It’s used in a sweeping action, but it’s also sharp enough to slice through flesh, remove the skin and cut away any bones. You can also get a knife specifically for salmon called (you guessed it) salmon knife.
