Quick Tips for Cutlery
1. Cutlery is often sold as individual pieces, but cutlery sets usually offer greater savings.
2. The tang is the part of a knife blade that extends down through the handle and gives a knife balance, strength, and sturdiness.
3. A full tang knife has a tang that extends full width through the length of the handle. A tang that thins within the handle is called a stick tang. Full tang knives are stronger than stick tang knives.
4. Kitchen knives are commonly referred to as Eastern or Western. Eastern knives have thinner, sharper blades. Western knives are sturdier, heavier, and lower maintenance.
5. Knife sets usually include basic knives such as a chef's knife, paring knife, and serrated bread knife. Complement your knife set with individual specialty knives such as a cleaver, slicing knife, and boning knife.
6. Proper knife storage is essential for extending the life of your knives. Purchasing a quality knife block is your best means of knife protection.
7. If you frequently transport your knives, a quality knife carrying case provides protection with style.
8. Many options exist for cutlery knife handle materials. The most popular options include composition handles, wooden handles, and stainless steel handles.
