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!
How much should you spend on your knife? After reviewing your needs, and then shopping around and trying to compare the various knives, you’ll then find a whole range of prices. When you compare prices it’ll seem as though you’re comparing apples and chickens. You’ll see different and similar metals, styles, and prices. And the level of service and help from the store, if you want it. How do you then make the most informed choice?
This is easy. Don’t overthink it. You’re buying something that will last you for many years. If you’re uncomfortable with the price, then buy a less expensive one. But remember that a difference of $10, $20, or $50, over the life of the knife, is not a lot of money. If it’s in your budget, then buy the knife that best suits your needs.
A desperate person will even hold on to a knife edge.
His pocket knife opens in my pocket.
The mother is she who catches the knife by the blade.

Put a knife to thy throat, if you’re a man given to appetite.
