If you want more tips about how to choose quality kitchen knives, you can visit my blog listed below or my listed branded best kitchen knives company here.

Anyway, I used to sharpen my quality kitchen knives using sharpening stone. But I found using sharpening steel is handier but it’s takes a bit of skill to do it properly.

Basically, how to sharpening your kitchen knives have 4 steps:

1. Hold the sharpening steel in your left hand steadily.

2. With another hand, hold your kitchen knife.

3. With the kitchen knife at a 10- to 25-degree angle to the steel, hold the steel rod steady and draw the knife blade down the steel.

4. Repeat the steps several times until the entire cutting surface of the kitchen knife has been drawn across the sharpening steel on both sides of the blade.

Well, there you have it!

Tips to remember and take away is to even pressure and have an equal number of strokes on each side of the blade.

Proper angle is also the key to properly sharpening your knive too.

All this will take some practice to make it perfect.

The knife that used for general cutting works in kitchen generally has a relatively short blade of three to four inches. This kind of knife could be used for many smaller jobs, such as peeling and slicing fruits and vegetables such as apple, onions, garlic etc. If your kitchen often has this kind of jobs rather than heavy cutting jobs so you may need to consider paring knife is probably the first knife to buy. I am quite sure that most of kitchen has general small cutting jobs more than heavy jobs so it can be conclude that you should buy this type. After you have used pair kitchen knife for a while, probably for about 1-2 years, you may see that the blade start to broken and you have to looking for a new one.

When choosing kitchen knife, you have to choose the ones which made from good quality blade. This could be measured by the certification message indicated on the blades itself. Or you may have to ask seller about the warranty policy of the knife. However, the durability of knife blade also depends on the way that you keep and maintenance too. To make sure that you keep all kitchen knives correctly, you must clean it immediately after use. This is because if you do not clean it immediately, the stain and bacteria is the cause of moan on the knife handle so you may have to replace the new one even thought the blade is still in very good condition.
