Bodum Chef 9-Piece Stainless-Steel Cutlery Set at Chef2Chef

Manufacturer Description

There is nothing more indispensable--even among your most important kitchen tools--than good knives. They are the unmistakable sign of a real chef at work, as only the right sharp knives make for excellent results and are fun to chop, cut, and garnish with. When good chefs work out of somebody else’s kitchen they might even bring their own knives with them. Everyone has their own preferences: some chefs use only an extra-wide chef’s knife and a serrated all-purpose knife, while others like to work with a variety of different knives. A Bold Idea in New Knives When our Bodum design team studied chefs both at home and in professional kitchens, they observed that a lot of them actually hold their knives partially along the top edge of the blade instead of strictly on the handle. And we observed that the common knife doesn't accommodate different ways of holding it. Our solution: a bolster between the blade and the handle for more comfort and a more accurate grip. This comfortably thick bolster with its concave oval top is a perfect resting place for either forefinger or thumb, depending on the chef’s preference and the task at hand. The bolster is designed at an angle toward the handle so that the pressure point straight underneath it is actually the end of the blade. This makes for enhanced transmission of energy and a very comfortable working experience. Great Construction Equals Great Knives The knives in the Bodum Chef line are handmade of the finest Japanese blade steel--molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel--and are hardened to a Rockwell hardness of 57. The handles are cast in 18/8 stainless chrome steel and have a special die-cast texture for a nonslip grip. These knives should be sharpened regularly and should never be left in a sink with water or placed in the dishwasher--the grinding particles in the dish soap harm the blade's edge. For best results clean with a damp towel and wipe dry. The Bodum Chef knife line consists of 24 different knives, a sharpening steel, and a carving fork. To sharpen a knife, hold it at an acute angle toward your sharpening steel, and then sharpen both sides of the blade alternately with consistent pressure. Serrated knives don’t need resharpening. With proper care Bodum Chef knives will last a lifetime.
