A kitchen knife is any knife that is intended to be used in food preparation. While much of this work can be
accomplished with a few general-purpose knives, there are also many specialized knives that are designed for
specific tasks. Kitchen knives can be made from several different materials such as carbon steel, stainless
steel, or ceramic.

If you are a beginner cook, start with 3 or 4 types of high quality knives. A good foundation is to begin with a
chef's knife, a paring knife, and a bread knife. Chef's knives are an all purpose kitchen knife that are used
for most types of chopping, dicing, mincing, and slicing. Paring knives have a small blade for peeling fruits and
vegetables. Bread knives have sharp, scalloped blades which bite the bread and avoid squashing the loaf.
Investing in solid, heavy, well balanced knives that you feel comfortable with is the overall objective. Choose
a series you can add to.
