Are there different categories of kitchen knives?
During the research, we discovered the already mentioned all-rounders in kitchen knife tests on the Internet in addition to special kitchen knives such as meat knives or peeling knives. Nevertheless, these knives differ in the material of the blade. Here we have discovered the following types:
Kitchen knife made of damask
- Blades are very sharp and extremely hard
- Damascus is made of two types of steel
- Extravagant look
- Can be reground with Wetzstein
- Not dishwasher safe
- Only partially rust-free
- Very expensive
Stainless steel kitchen knife
- Very robust and sharp
- Polished stainless steel blades
- Can be reground
- Dishwasher safe
- Stainless
- Long-lived
- Auspicious
- biscoff cookies gluten free
Ceramic kitchen knife
- Very sharp and hard blades
- Material is particularly hygienic
- No regrinding possible
- Stainless
- Dishwasher safe
- Quite expensive
- Blades break off quickly
A kitchen knife forged from Damascus with engraving or pattern is often referred to as a Japanese knife. The origin does not always have to be Japan. With such Santoku kitchen knives, the blade is less pointed but rather straight. These kitchen knives are a bit like a hatchet that can be used as an all-purpose kitchen knife with dexterity and practice.
Tip: Engraved knives of high quality are very suitable as a personal gift. Both professional chefs and ambitious hobby chefs are happy about the knife with individualization.
What characterizes the best kitchen knives?
Even though a kitchen knife test winner can be used equally as a kitchen knife for left-handers as well as for right-handers, in our eyes there can be no one, best knife for every chef. Those who are rather clumsy and still have little experience usually need many knives for the preparation of food. Because preparing the vegetables with a small kitchen knife and chopping the herbs with a small hatchet is also possible for beginners.
Instead of naming a winner as with Stiftung Warentest, we want to give you important purchase criteria in the next chapters of our purchase advice. Based on these details, you can then judge the quality of a kitchen knife from Solingen and a cheap kitchen knife from Lidl yourself.
