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!
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.



As the camel falls to its knees, more knives are drawn.

The bigger the smile, the sharper the knife.

Wounds from the knife are healed, but not those from the tongue.
Decision is a sharp knife that cuts or to do anything, never to turn back or to stop until the thing intended was clean and straight; indecision, a dull one that hacks and tears and leaves ragged edges behind it.
Put a knife to thy throat, if you’re a man given to appetite.
