What are some of the most important tools in your kitchen? If you didn't answer "knives", it might be because yours just aren't up to the task. A good knife cuts easily, keeps its edge, has enough heft to enable you to work efficiently, feels comfortable in your hand, resists corrosion, and is a worthwhile investment that will be used and enjoyed for many, many years to come. Your knives should do their jobs easily, whether it’s slicing, paring, peeling, chopping, etc., with minimal effort from you. If you find yourself having to saw or hack away at something, you’re using the wrong knife. And that just doesn’t cut it!
