Why different knives are needed

It is simple as that: Cutting different types of food requires different types of knives.

• in order to cut small vegetables and fruit a small blade is to be favoured.
  
  
• for slicing bread, ripe tomatoes or a crispy roast, a knife with a wavy or serrated edge is the right tool.
  
  
• a long and straight edge is ideal for carving.
  
  
• and the Cook´s knife, the most important tool in a kitchen is ideal for all food preparations including mincing, dicing and slicing. It is the manual food processor.
  
  

There is no one universal knife that can be used for the multitude of cutting tasks.
The enjoyment of gourmet food begins with the preparation and the right tool.
