Best Kitchen Knives – Japanese Kitchen Knives Versus European Kitchen Knives

Today I want to talk a little bit about kitchen knives. I know, we all have them in our kitchens but I thought I would talk about some of the things one might want to consider when looking to purchase good quality kitchen knives/cutlery. Today more and more chefs are using Japanese Kitchen Knives. Just take a look at how many television chefs are using a Santoku Knife! There are many advantages to Japanese Kitchen Knives over Western European Kitchen Knives. First of all Japanese Kitchen Knives are exceedingly lighter than their European Kitchen Knife counterparts. This means that the weight of the knife will not bring a burden to your wrist and hands over long periods of time.
