Knife sets and cases

Why choose a knife set instead of individual knives?

A knife set offers a selection of complementary tools, each designed for a specific task. It allows you to work with different types of food with the most suitable knife, ensuring precision and safety. Additionally, a well-organized case protects the blades and extends their lifespan while adding an aesthetic touch to your kitchen.

The essential types of knives in a box

A good knife set generally includes the following essentials:

• Chef's knife: Versatile, it is ideal for slicing, chopping and cutting with precision.
• Paring knife: Perfect for detailed tasks like peeling or cutting fruits and vegetables.
• Bread knife: Its serrated blade allows you to slice foods with a hard crust or soft crumb without crushing.
• Meat knife: Designed to cleanly cut raw or cooked meats with precision.
• Santoku knife: Ideal for clean cuts of meat, fish and vegetables thanks to its dimpled blade.

How to choose the ideal knife set?

The choice of a knife set depends on several criteria:

• The quality of the blades: Choose knives made of stainless steel or Damascus steel for a long-lasting edge and corrosion resistance.
• The ergonomics of the handle: Ensure a comfortable and secure grip by opting for a wooden, composite or stainless steel handle.
• Storage: Some sets come with a wooden storage block or magnetic holder, ensuring secure storage and optimal preservation of the blades.

Maintenance and durability of a knife set

To maintain the sharpness of your knives, avoid putting them in the dishwasher and clean them by hand with a soft sponge. Dry them immediately to prevent corrosion, especially if the blades are made of carbon steel. Sharpen them regularly with a sharpening steel or a sharpening stone to ensure optimal performance. Finally, store them carefully in their block, case, or on a magnetic bar to avoid any contact that could dull the blades.
