There are few different of types of whetstones, and it is easier to picture those by their roughness. A whetstone can use be rough grit, medium grit or fine grit. The rougher, the more metal it will remove from your blade, the finer and you will use it for polishing your edge.

This also means that you will not sharpen your knives with rough grit everyday. Rough grit are for the big sharpening you’d have to proceed with when your knives really become dull. For everyday sharpening, if needed, you will prefer the fine grit.

Whetstones commonly comes in a block style, and can have two sides, each of a different roughness (rough/medium or medium/fine, medium/super fine, etc).

To keep your stone longer, it s recommended to use a bit of water on the surface of the stone, though some people use oil too. This will also keep too much roughness to scratch your blade. Remember, when you sharpen a knife, you are removing some metal from your blades, and then re-polish it. Adding water will lubricate the stone and facilitate cleaning.

Global have a very nice choice of whetstones, here are few ones you can use for your knives and that you will keep for a long time. Rough grit whetstones can last a lifetime as you will use these less often than others.

On the left is a Global Whetstone (Rough 240 & Medium 1000) and on the right you can see a Global Ceramic Whetstone (Super fine grit, 5000), from Metro Kitchen.

You are a cooking expert, either a professional chef or a home cooking enthousiast, the kitchen is your kingdom. The gourmet inside of you knows the importance of having the perfect cookware. Among your tools, there should be your knives. Stainless steel knives, tools forged by skilled craftsmen, just like you, who can create an ideal dining environment filled of tasty gourmet food !

Does that sound like you ? Well here are some little tips, that will enlight you on the choice of the perfect kitchen knife set. This guide can also be followed by anyone looking for a gift idea.

What is the ideal cutlery knife set ?

There are no single answer to that question but if you had to keep one in mind, this would be the following one. The best knife set would be the one that you truly use, and need. What I mean by that is that you can get 7 piece knife sets which is very complete and does almost everything you need, or get a set of 25 or more knives if that’s what you really want. Professional chefs may need more knives than home chefs.

What cutlery sets should include is at least a chef’s knife, which is anyway most of the time. Then a vegetable knife, a paring knife, a carving knife, a bread knife, filet knife, a boning knife and a slicing knife should be well enough for most people. Some sets come with a cheese knife too, a honing steel, or/and kitchen shears which are always useful.

What type of knives ?

European or Japanese ? Well that’s a good question again however, I’d say this is a matter of style. The design is certainly different, but the results you can achieve are probably the same. Premium knives usually have great ergonomics and offer comfort, balance and strenght. They are also, as you have guessed, extremely sharp.

Japanese knives often have a great design, very stylish, almost pieces of art. They use a blade that has a single bevel, meaning one side of the blade is completely straight. This makes the cutting very thin and precise. Global knives don’t have any bevel at all, just straight edge upto the spine of the blade.

European knives, and more particularly German knives, are represented by the two major brands J.A Zwilling Henckels and Wusthof. Both make awesome knives, very resistant and well designed. They are very balanced too and are used by many chefs around the world.

What steel is better ?

Most of the knife manufacturers use their proprietary formula to create stainless steel cutlery, or use several different ones depending on the type of knives they create. What you just need to keep in mind is that these stainless steel knives are very resistant, they are forged from one piece of steel, they are then ice hardened.

To be stainless steel, steel should have at least 10.5% to 11% Chromium in its composition. Did you know stainless steel is also 100% recyclable ?

There are too many different alloys of steel to list here, but we can say that high carbon steel are often prefered by knife makers to improve strenght of the blade. As an example Shun uses their own formula called CROMOVA 18, a high carbon steel that is composed of Chromium (18%), mobdylenum, and vanadium.

Is that kitchen knives cutlery enough ? Do you need more ?

Well, as for knives, the biggest knife sets will include 6 or 8 steak knives, which will be also of some use. Great knives for everyone for dinner. Maybe a nice way to show your beautiful cutlery to your guests . Depending on your cooking style or preference, you may want some Japanese knives. Their cutting is different, the blade is often very thin, and use a single bevel edge. You can either simply buy a Santoku (the Japanese chef’s knife) if you have German knives or a complete set of Japanese knives.

But I’d want to express my recommendation as for some little accessories that will be a nice, if not necessary addition to your knife set.

Accessories

First, the cutting board : choose a WOODEN cutting board. Hardwood, bamboo, a wood cutting board is the way to go. Plastic can also be considered but please, forget glass, marble, ceramic or steel surfaces. These are hard, while wood is easy on your blades. Hard cutting surfaces will damage your blade and prevent them to be sharp longer.

Also you woul need some kind of knife sharpening tools. Well, there are different ways to sharpen a knife. The traditional way would require you to get a honing steel, so you realign the blade, a whetstone to sharpen the knife and polish it.

The simplest one is to use an electric knife sharpener. An electric knife sharpener can take care of all those steps in few seconds. If you have many knives or want simplicity and speed, go for one, that’s a smart investment. Some are very expensive, but you’ll find most between $100-$200 (Chef’s Choice electric knife sharpeners are the leaders and most recommended everywhere).

You can also use manual knife sharpeners which basically do the same things as electric ones, it’s just… not electric, and smaller in size.

Knife Care and Storage

A knife set, could come in various format. Usually, because it is the most convenient, you would choose a block, in which you can store your knives safely. A block knife set is usually what I recommend the most. If your set of knives doesn’t have any storage, get a block to put them inside and protect your blades as well as your hands

You can also get your cutlery knife set in a tray. This is still a nice way to store them, however the block will certainly be the most convenient.

Lastly, it maybe a box set, well not the best thing to store your knives. You certainly won’t put back your knives in their box everyday after each use and take them ofut of it the next day. A box is generally made for the gift purpose, or for a 2 or 3 knife sets, or a steak knife set that will not necesarly go into the block.

One tip that you may already have encountered already here : don’t push your premium knives in the dishwasher. Here’s the truth… you could do it. But you don’t want except you’re okay to damage them, most of the time the manufacturer tells you they don’t recommend it. You’re taking the risk of having your knives in contact with other knives and cookware supplies.

Scratches on your blades will not be cool. It will reduce the stain resistance, there is a lot of water and heat inside, and as resistant as they are, blades are also delicate part of your knives. It’s not hard at all (really) to wash your knives with water and mild soap and immediately dry them with a soft cloth.

There are NO STAIN PROOF STEEL. Your stainless steel knife rusts and stains less but with time and without care, stain may occur, though it can be removed. But when you take care of your knives you are almost sure to keep your knives in their factory state. A bit of sharpening and you’re ready to cut like crazy again.

I hope this information was good to you and worth of interest. You should know have some kitchen cutlery essential tips in mind. If you were searching for gift ideas then a knife block set will be warmly received by the person you offer it to. Every chef needs kitchen supplies and a cutlery set will be used every day for years to come !

Now go browsing a bit the pages and discover some beautiful cutlery knife set, there are some great chef knives in these home appliances, and you are going to love what you see.

You can see on the left a Calphalon Contemporary set. The Contemporary line is a very useful one. Yes, it cuts with precision and comfort, but each knife features its name, etched in the end of the handle. You’re sure to know what knives you need to use and which one you’re pulling out the block.

This is the Calphalon Contemporary 21 piece knife set, certainly one of the most complete set you can getat this price (less than $300). The steel used is a german steel, from tang to tip. The full tang provides great balance and strenght. It includes : 8″ Chef’s Knife, 5″ and 7″ Santoku Knives, 8″ Bread Knife, 3.5″ Paring knife, 5.5″ Tomato Bagel Knife, 6″ Utility Knife, 5″ Boning Knife, 8″ Slicer, 6″ Fork, 8 Steak Knives and kitchen shears

Global 25th-Anniversary 3-Piece Cutlery Set

Global Cutlery 6 Piece Oriental Knife Set

Global lines are :

• G Series
• GS Series
• GFS Serie
• GF Series

Global is Yoshikin brand, created 25 years ago. From the start until today, the knives have been crafted by hand in Niigata, Japan, in the Samurai swords tradition.

Global are known for their sharpness, the blade being very thin, thinner than western knives. Indeed, though th blade is not a single bevel, this is not a double bevel either!  This is a straight edge, that goes on to the spine of the blade. This makes the entire cut very precise, and the knives will remain sharp longer than other knives.

Another quality of Global is their lightness. Though the steel thery’re made of is harder than many others, the CROMOVA 18 (chromium, molybdenum and vanadium) and thus very resistant, it’s lighter than most of all other knives. Some chefs would even say too light ! But this is a very enjoyable experience at the end of your cutting day. The CROMOVA 18 is a proprietary material made by Global, and only used in Global knives.

So Global succeeds to make knives that are different but with all qualities to please you, the serious chef. A strong steel to keep a cutting edge longer, and a light and sharp ensemble to allow you maximum control. It’s a brand that became highly popular among chefs in their (only?) 25 years of existence.

Also, Global knives have a Lifetime Warranty ! So that’s another reason to confidently purchase these stylish, light and sharp knives from Japan.

Where to buy Global knives ?

According to our research, MetroKitchen (again) seems to have the largest choice of Global knives and accessories. But we also would like to recommend Cookware who have over a hundred Global pieces and which, on every product page, give you the cleaning, storage and user guides.

Shun uses superior steel to build their knives. Each knives is made of VG-10, a super strong steel alloy high in carbon that also holds some Chromium, Vanadium, Molybdenum and Cobalt.

The two best places for that offer the wides choice of Kershaw Shun knives and Shun set are MetroKitchen and Sur La Table. We have seen that they both include some of the standard and special Shun designer series.

Another good place is Chefs catalog. View Shun at Chefs.

Chefs Choice knife sharpeners are tools you can rely on when you need a new edge for our knives, recognized as the best in the world. This brand knows its stuff, and they are the favorite choice for many cherfs.

You can get a fresh blade with no efforts, and indeed and lots of people adore Chef’s Choice sharpeners. Just go on Amazon and check the hundreds of raving reviews they get for each of their products (yes, hundreds). It was logical that Chefs Choice products were featured here. Something that you may want to know is that many of their products don’t require honing oil or water.

Our Top Choice :

Chef’s Choice Diamond Hone AngleSelect Knife Sharpener. We have selected this product because it can handle all knives, smooth, serrated,European, American and Asian knives too. You can select between stage 1 and 2 to select the angle (15 degrees for Asian knives, 20 degrees for European and American ones). These two stages hones the edge diamond coated disks. The stage 3 will polish and strop to provide you with the perfect edge.

Using an electric knife sharpener is not difficult at all. You just need to turn on the machine and then run the blade in each stage with only a few strokes (it depends of how dull are your knives), maybe just twice on each side of the blade. Just like handheld knife sharpeners, you run the knife from heel to tip.

The price : The price of Chef’s Choice electric knife sarpeners range from $80 to $200. But here’s a tip : Look for another color. That’s a strange tip but sometimes you will see the exact same product cheaper just because it is of another color.

For example, check the Chef’s Choice M120 at ChefsCatalog. See the white and red ones are about $140, the brushed metallic is about $170…

We don’t realy know the reason about such price difference. Are these finishing colors are really more expensive ? We can actually say we already have seen this happen on other brands and product types. Anyway, there must be a reason but we don’t feel the color of the sharpener is important, it’s more the sharpness of our blade.

What matters is quality. You certainly agree.

The high end product of the Chefs Choice range is also a 3 stage product and is more expensive than the others. We’ll let you be the judge by seeing the Chef’sChoice Professional Electric Knife Sharpener 2100 details for yourself, but rest assured this is a premium sharpener. A commercial tool of course that may be more suited for the professional chefs.

ATTENTION : Electric Knife Sharpeners for Asian Knives.

Many asian knives have a thinner blade and a single bevel edge. If an electric knife sharpener was your primary search, then you might also be interested in products designed for these knives. So if you only have asian knives be sure to go for a sharpener that can take care of those.

Check the Chef’sChoice Diamond Knife Sharpener for Asian Knives (otherwise our top choice mentioned first is a great solution).

You may want to check more Chef’s Choice Electric Sharpeners.

If Chefs Choice looks like the specialist of electric knife sharpeners, the knife manufacturers also make their own. Among them we’ll notice the Wusthof Electric Knife Sharpener too.

These sharpeners are doing great job, usually in 2 stage :

• First stage hones and reshape the edge.
• Second stage smooth and polish the edge.

That was easy, right ?! Note that you dont run the blade back and forth, you only run the blade from heel to tip towards you, then repeat the movement but you don’t do the movement in the opposite way.

The price of such knife sharperners vary between $20 and $60.

Here are few handheld Wusthof knife sharpener

Wusthof Sharpener and the Wusthof Ikon Knife and Scissor Sharpener

Santoku Knife Sharpener by Wusthof. This one is made for Santoku knives. Asian knives usually require another angle of sharpening due to their single bevel blade.

And below are the Henckels Edge Maintenance Twinsharp Select Stainless Steel Sharpener and Chroma Kasumi Titanium 7.5″ Knife Sharpener

As you can see they are very similar in styles.
