The Well-Stocked Kitchen Starts With Cutting-Edge Knives
Preparing exceptional meals is much simpler when you start with the right cutting tools. A well-stocked kitchen relies on knives that combine style, safety, and high performance.
The Essentials of Quality Knives
Top-notch knives are crafted from forged high-carbon stainless steel and chromium, ensuring optimal rust and stain resistance. A great example is the Insignia2 cutlery line, featuring Chicago Cutlery's signature Taper Grind™ Edge for sharpness, performance, edge retention, and easy resharpening.
When selecting a knife, choose one with heavy forged bolsters between the blade and the handle. This feature enhances balance and safety, preventing fingers from slipping onto the blade. Additionally, a full tang blade, which extends from the tip of the knife to the handle's end, offers increased strength and control.
Ideal knife collections come with ergonomic polymer handles for durability and easy handling. The handles should be secured to the blades with triple compression stainless steel rivets.
Inside the Insignia2 Collection
Available in 18-piece and 12-piece slanted hardwood block sets, the Insignia2 collection offers:
- A four-piece forged steak knife set
- A three-piece set including paring, utility, and chef knives
- A two-piece Asian set featuring a seven-inch Granton-edge Santoku and a 3.5-inch paring knife
The collection also introduces the innovative Partoku™, a five-inch knife that combines the versatility of a Granton-edge Santoku with the ease of a paring knife. It's perfect for chopping, dicing, slicing, and mincing, effectively replacing a cleaver, slicer, and chef’s knife.
