These are the key elements of any kitchen knife: </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_8-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <h3 id="mntl-sc-block_9-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block foodandwine-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading"> <span class="mntl-sc-block-subheading__text"> The Handle </span> </h3> <p id="mntl-sc-block_10-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> The handle is the section where your hand will grip the knife while in use. This will include the tang (the internal steel continued from the blade), rivets (studs from the tang that secure the handle material), and the butt (the back end of the knife handle). A “full-tang” knife means the blade material runs all the way through the handle to the butt, which should be the case for any quality kitchen knife. The bolster is the area between the handle and the blade, which provides balance and protects your hand from slipping toward the sharp edge. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_11-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <h3 id="mntl-sc-block_12-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block foodandwine-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading"> <span class="mntl-sc-block-subheading__text"> The Blade </span> </h3> <p id="mntl-sc-block_13-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> The blade is sharpened metal of the knife used for cutting and slicing. This includes the tip (the end point of the blade furthest from the handle), the spine (the unsharpened top edge of the blade), the edge (the sharpened side of the blade), and the heel (the back end of the blade, closest to the handle). </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_14-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <h3 id="mntl-sc-block_15-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block foodandwine-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading"> <span class="mntl-sc-block-subheading__text"> Forged vs. Stamped Knives </span> </h3> <p id="mntl-sc-block_16-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> Kitchen knives are made in two different ways: forging and stamping. There are low-quality versions of both styles, but a fully-forged knife will be more durable for most kitchen tasks. There are great versions of both knife varieties, so the choice depends on your intended use. Many knife brands make both forged and stamped knives. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_17-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <ul id="mntl-sc-block_18-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> <li><strong>Forged Knives: </strong>Forging involves heating and hammering a single piece of steel and molding it into shape with either a manual or machine process. Forged knives are heavier, typically full-tang, and often stronger because of the intensive molding process. Brands like Shun, Dalstrong, Wüsthof, Mercer, and Miyabi all offer forged blades. </li><li><strong>Stamped Knives: </strong>Stamping is a process where the knife shape is “stamped” out of a single piece of metal and then heated and molded into the desired shape before sharpening. Typically stamped knives are lightweight and less expensive (depending on the brand). Victorinox, Winco, Henckels, Wüsthof, and Zwilling all offer stamped knives.</li> </ul> <div id="mntl-sc-block_19-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <span class="heading-toc" id="toc-typical-knife-blade-materials"></span><h2 id="mntl-sc-block_20-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block foodandwine-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading"> <span class="mntl-sc-block-heading__text"> Typical Knife Blade Materials </span> </h2> <figure id="mntl-sc-block_21-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block foodandwine-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-universal-image mntl-sc-block-image--no-theme no-theme mntl-sc-block-image figure-landscape figure-high-res"> <div class="figure-media"> <div class="img-placeholder" style="padding-bottom:66.6%;"> <img data-src="https://www.foodandwine.com/thmb/Z_7DQtPT1CNZvT2U36oYJNpjNds=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/Knife-Guide-FT-2-MAG0223-9bb159fec10746a6b336f95a8a8db4c2.jpg" width="2700" height="1800" data-srcset="https://www.foodandwine.com/thmb/MZ6tv_rvBmcbXGzWX7S1OA_f0tU=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/Knife-Guide-FT-2-MAG0223-9bb159fec10746a6b336f95a8a8db4c2.jpg 750w" data-sizes="750px" alt="Serrated knives" class="lazyload universal-image__image" data-expand="300" id=mntl-sc-block-image_2-0 data-tracking-container="true" data-img-lightbox="true" data-click-tracked="true" /> <noscript> <img src="https://www.foodandwine.com/thmb/Z_7DQtPT1CNZvT2U36oYJNpjNds=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/Knife-Guide-FT-2-MAG0223-9bb159fec10746a6b336f95a8a8db4c2.jpg" width="2700" height="1800" class="img--noscript universal-image__image" srcset="https://www.foodandwine.com/thmb/MZ6tv_rvBmcbXGzWX7S1OA_f0tU=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/Knife-Guide-FT-2-MAG0223-9bb159fec10746a6b336f95a8a8db4c2.jpg 750w" sizes="750px" alt="Serrated knives" /> </noscript> </div> </div> <figcaption id="mntl-figure-caption_2-0" class="comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption"> <span class="figure-article-caption-owner"><p>Victor Protasio / Prop Styling by Claire Spollen</p></span> </figcaption></figure> <p id="mntl-sc-block_22-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> These days several materials can be used to create a kitchen knife. The blades generally fall into a few categories, each with its strengths. Your budget, what feels comfortable to you, the way you like to use knives, and your aesthetics will all factor into the type of blade you might choose. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_23-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <h3 id="mntl-sc-block_24-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block foodandwine-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading"> <span class="mntl-sc-block-subheading__text"> Stainless Steel </span> </h3> <p id="mntl-sc-block_25-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> Stainless steel is the most common knife blade material. It’s typically an alloy, usually iron combined with chromium, nickel, or molybdenum. It’s rust-resistant and non-reactive, but won’t get quite as sharp as carbon steel. Stainless steel knives also tend to be more affordable than knives made from other materials. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_26-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <h3 id="mntl-sc-block_27-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block foodandwine-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading"> <span class="mntl-sc-block-subheading__text"> Carbon Steel </span> </h3> <p id="mntl-sc-block_28-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> Carbon steel, an alloy of carbon and iron, is another common knife material. Carbon steel knives are durable and very sharp and are easier to sharpen than stainless steel, but will be more susceptible to corrosion and rust, so must be cleaned and stored with care. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_29-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <h3 id="mntl-sc-block_30-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block foodandwine-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading"> <span class="mntl-sc-block-subheading__text"> High Carbon Stainless Steel </span> </h3> <p id="mntl-sc-block_31-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> High carbon steel is the upgrade to both stainless and carbon steel and manages the best of both worlds: strength, sharpness, and corrosion resistance.
