Maybe it’s time to stop spending all that extra money on ordering in and instead invest in new kitchen tools that will not only save you money in the longer run but also help you attain a feeling of achievement.

Your Chef’s Knife, particularly your most important of kitchen essential tools, should be an investment in your love of food and cooking.

Quality Chef knives are one of those kitchen tools that will reward you with safe, enjoyable performance every day and inspiration over a lifetime. And all the while your skills will grow using the right tools for the right jobs.

If you’ve only ever used a cheap chef’s knife for as your kitchen preparation tools, switching to a high quality knife will be a night and day difference.

A Chef’s Knife is designed to be a cook’s primary knife. I recommend you choose one of these as your first knife, which you can use to chop, slice, dice and mince all types of vegetables, fruits, meats and fish.

The perfect companion to the Chef’s Knife, the paring knife can tackle all of the precision cuts and fine-detail work in your kitchen.

Sometimes a chef’s knife is too big for the task at hand—that’s why you need a great paring knife as well.

When it comes to peeling fruits and vegetables, precision cuts, and random small jobs, a dependable and razor-sharp paring knife will prove its worth over and over again.

If you plan on doing much in-hand cutting (holding a small food in your hand as you cut it, such as “turning” carrots, “fluting” mushrooms or peeling apples), I recommend the 3″.

Since paring knives are small and meant for delicate work, highly durable build quality seems less of a requirement. You may find that in this category, quality stamped knives are on a more even playing field with forged knives.

But don’t underestimate how frequently this little paring knife gets used; whether it is stamped or forged, you’ll want a good one!

Further, it makes it easy to chop different food items like meats, vegetables, nuts and others without creating any mess in the kitchen.

Fundamentally, the qualities you want in a can opener are reliability (not falling off the can or leaving an uncut segment), comfort, and leverage, that is, a powerful mechanical advantage.
