In fact, even after preparing a roast dinner for 16 people, our hands didn’t show signs of soreness and, as the blade is made from Damascus steel, it will see you through year after year of vegetable prep work. It’s hand-wash only, though, and not one to use with wet hands. Chef’s knife: Also known as a cook’s knife, this all-purpose knife is made with a range of jobs in mind from dicing raw meat and hard vegetables to chopping herbs. They’re available with blades ranging from 15cm to 36cm. They all have weighted handles, which not only gives a nice balance to the knives when in use but also ensures you get a good, clean cut. To keep the knives sharp, there is a removable two-stage ceramic sharpener in base for use with the non-serrated knives, though it’s worth noting that this isn’t suitable for serrated or ceramic blades, if you have any in your collection. These knives are not dishwasher safe, so you need to wash them by hand – but be careful they are sharp.
