  • A knife block is the best place to store your chef knives.
  • Magnetic Racks are also very good (but expose your knives to flies, which grosses our a few people including myself!).
  • Never store your chef knives unprotected in a cutlery drawer. You are risking finger injuries and they will get damaged easily by other metal objects in the drawer.
  • In a sleave or sheath, in a drawer is ok. But not in one of those stupid plastic sharpening sleaves that are suppose to sharpen your knife as you pull it in and out of the sheath.

    • Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.]]>     Use a quality sharpening steel (the longer the better, and diamond steels are better still) and learn how to use it properly by watching how-to videos on YouTube, that is the best way to keep chef knives sharp.

    Never use a sharpening stone. Never use a grinder (you will destroy your chef knife).

    Poor quality chef knives are often stamped out in heavy pressing machines at low temperatures.

    • Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.]]>     Because you have much more control with a sharp knife. It’s cutting is predictable. A blunt knife can slip and that’s when injuries occur (like losing a finger).

    A sharp knife is a safe knife.

    With a high quality chef knife, you don’t have to sharpen as often because the chef knife holds its cutting edge longer, and a few swipes with a sharpening steel is all it takes to keep it razor sharp.

  • Chopping board’s made of Bamboo are the best for chef knives. They are naturally anti-bacterial and they won’t dull your knives.
  • Plastic chopping boards are ok for chef knives, but not ideal
  • Never use a glass chopping board! They will blunt your chef knives very quickly

    They make cutting, chopping, slicing, and dicing easier and safer.
