At the time I was just a cook my budget wasn?t very large. As an aspiring Chef I knew that I needed knives as a starting point for my kitchen tools. But what kind Stainless or carbon, forged or stamped, all good questions and I was a bit clueless. I asked my Culinary instructor what he liked and as he was a old school Swiss chef trained in European tradition, he suggested that I look into Henkel knifes.<\/p>\n<p>J.A .Henkel is a German knife company that has been producing knives for <strong>275 years,<\/strong>established in 1731. They are excellent knives. Peter Henkel started the company in 1731 and registered the Twin symbol as a trademark in the town of Solingen.<\/p>\n<p>I bought my first knife set, a beautiful white handle set of eight knifes. I went to work at a Hotel one morning, and stared working as usual. Being busy,I left my knives out in my station while I went to deliver some salads to one of the restaurants. When I came back a thief had stolen them. What a life lesson!<\/p>\n<p>I had to have knives, so I went looking for new knives the next day. This time determined to find economical yet quality kitchen cutlery, I went to a knife shop and asked what the owner recommended. This time I did not have a lot of money so the owner of the stores ask me what my budget was and I said I needed A 10? chef knife, a boning knife, a paring knife and a Steel to keep them sharp. He told me about F Dick knifes another German maker of knives that had manufacturing plants in Brazil and he showed me a couple of them. F Dick Knives are also of exceptional quality but a bit more economical from this store as the owner had a large stock of them. I bought a few different brands that day and have had them ever since.I take extra care that I always return my knives to a secure place when I have to leave them.<\/p>\n<p>Now there are many great choices for kitchen cutlery, Japanese, Brazilian and French knives can be good choices. I suggest you look around and find the knives that fit you hands best and ones that are comfortable. I am again evaluating knives and I really like Saber knives, they are American made and of good quality.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/betterku.hubpages.com\/hub\/Use-better-kitchen-utensils\" target=\"_blank\">Continue Reading<\/a><\/p>\n<p><small>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/betterku.hubpages.com\/hub\/Use-better-kitchen-utensils\" target=\"_blank\">HubPages<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Funny little post I put together several years ago on hub-pages, these days I prefer more elegant knives, like Damascus Steel Kitchen Knives that one can obtain at cutlery retailers such as https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Better.Kitchen.Utensils Use Better Kitchen Utensils to cook with.&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-94","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-kitchen-tools"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/betterkitchenutensils.com\/japanese-chef-knives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/betterkitchenutensils.com\/japanese-chef-knives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/betterkitchenutensils.com\/japanese-chef-knives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/betterkitchenutensils.com\/japanese-chef-knives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/betterkitchenutensils.com\/japanese-chef-knives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=94"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/betterkitchenutensils.com\/japanese-chef-knives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":187,"href":"https:\/\/betterkitchenutensils.com\/japanese-chef-knives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94\/revisions\/187"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/betterkitchenutensils.com\/japanese-chef-knives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=94"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/betterkitchenutensils.com\/japanese-chef-knives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=94"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/betterkitchenutensils.com\/japanese-chef-knives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=94"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
