Vegetable knives: to cut all your fruits and veggies
Vegetable knives, as the name subtly implies, are used for cutting vegetables. They're a must-have for people who like to eat healthy food. Sure, you can cut vegetables with other types of knives too, but vegetable knives have been specifically designed to do so. Most vegetable knives are enhanced with a very thin grind, for example. This prevents the blade from working its way through hard vegetables like a wedge, which would cause vegetables to break rather than be sliced. Vegetable knives can also be used to peel potatoes and fruit. Therefore, there is bound to be some overlap with other types of knives such as peeling knives and paring knives.
High-quality vegetable knives
At Knivesandtools we're convinced of the quality of the products we sell, and our vegetable knives are no exception! We offer both stainless-steel vegetable knives and carbon-steel knives, all of great quality.
A vegetable knife's length is between 15 and 20 cm, its blade shape is mostly straight, often with a slightly curved tip. As a result, the knife easily cuts through large pieces of vegetables. In addition, it allows you to have lots of control over the blade, so you can carry out even the most precise cutting tasks.
Maintenance for your vegetable knife
To properly maintain your vegetable knife, it is important to rinse it well after each use and clean it by hand using a mild soap. Besides cleaning, you should also sharpen your vegetable knife regularly. Exactly how often you should sharpen it depends on how often you use the knife.
