Knife Skills —

a kitchen guide to using the right knife the right way

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!


Nonknife, nonmotorized sharp kitchen tools

Many kitchen tools aren’t knives but are still very sharp. These can be just as valuable, but unlike knives, are often just task-specific. Over time, as you cook more, you’ll buy these as you need them.

He makes a hundred knives, none of which has a handle.	Arabic proverb

The tongue that belongs to a fake friend is sharper than a knife.	Faroese proverb

God created the world just like a knife and left it up to us to take it by the handle or the blade.

Charles Buxton

The rule in carving holds good as to criticism; never cut with a knife what you can cut with a spoon.
