This site will give you the confidence to choose and use the knives and other nonelectric sharp tools in your kitchen. It’s also a reference site that you can use as you improve your skills and acquire the tools that will make you a better cook!
I have one simple rule for caring for knives: if you treat them well, they’ll treat you well. And by treating you well, that means that they’ll last for many years. My primary knives are over 20 years old, and should be going strong for many more years. You can get the same mileage out of yours by paying attention to how you wash, store, and use your knives.
A knife wound heals; a wound caused by words does not.
No matter how sharp it is, a knife will never cut it’s own handle.
The whetstone in a village does no blunt the knife.
A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it.
The bigger the smile, the sharper the knife.
