Manufacturer Description
Knife Construction
Blade: Farberware Classic Forged blades are forged from a single piece of high-carbon steel for superior cutting capabilities.
Edge: These knives feature taper ground edges, meaning the edges taper smoothly from the thickest point of the blade (the spine) to the cutting edge, creating a ‘V’. This edge results in superior cutting and chopping because it keeps the blade stable.
Bolster: The bolster is the part of the knife where the blade meets the handle. The bolsters provide greater stability and strength and function as finger guards.
Tang: The tang is part of the blade itself and is the point where the handle is attached. A full tang extends the entire length of the handle. The full tang on Farberware Classic Forged cutlery keeps the knives sturdy, well-balanced, and durable.
Knife Definitions
Chef's knife: The chef's knife is the most commonly used knife. The blade typically ranges from 8 to 12 inches long and approximately 1 to 1-½ inches wide at the bolster, tapering down to a point at the tip. A high-quality chef's knife should be well-balanced, meaning the weight of the blade equals the weight of the handle. The blade is shaped to slice, chop, mince, peel, and trim fish, meats, and poultry.
Utility knife: The utility knife is a smaller version of the chef's knife that is used for light cutting, slicing, and peeling. The blade is usually 5 to 7inches long. A serrated utility knife is great for cutting the firm skin and soft interior of a tomato and also works well for cutting sandwiches.
Paring knife: Beside a chef's knife, a paring knife is the second most common knife in a set. The paring knife is used primarily for paring and trimming vegetables and fruits. It has a 2- to 4-inch blade, which can either be straight and taper to a point or curve at the tip.
Slicer: The slicer has a long, thin, narrow blade perfect for making smooth slices in a single stroke. The blade can be either rigid or flexible depending on the use. The edge can also be smooth or serrated, depending on the cutting task. The bread knife is a serrated slicer.
Sharpening tools: A sharpening steel is used to maintain the edge of a knife in between professional sharpenings. Steels are made of various materials and can range in size and diameter. Steels can be round or oval and can range from approximately 3 to 14 inches long. Hard steel is the most commonly used material for sharpening steels.
Cleaning and Care
For best results, hand wash Farberware Classic Forged and all fine cutlery with warm soapy water and a sponge. Do not wash knives with other cutlery, utensils, or other items. Rinse each knife thoroughly and dry immediately with a soft cloth, wiping from the blade back to the cutting edge. Water that remains on the knife will cause rust and spotting, and prolonged contact with high-acid content foods such as tomatoes, grapefruits, and lemons may cause discoloration. Dishwasher cleaning or rinse agents and heat can dull the blade's finish or cause the handle's luster to fade. Dry the knives immediately and thoroughly to avoid rusting. Cleaning them with a nonabrasive metal polish will usually remove discoloration, rust, and spotting.
Warranty
Farberware cutlery is warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship. Any piece found to be defective under normal use and care will be repaired or replaced at no charge with the same item or an item of equal or better value.
