How to find a Chef's Knife to Fit Your Hand
The list of characteristics to pay attention to when trying out knives is short, but important. It will pay off in your long-term investment to give special attention to how the knife feels as you try it out.
Size: An 8-inch knife is a good standard size to begin with. Like our Bluesim's knife. At this size, it's easier to manipulate the knife for multiple functions including slicing, dicing, mincing and chopping. A 10-inch chef's knife is perfect for performing heavier jobs such as breaking down a chicken, but can feel clumsy or intimidating for everyday use, especially for novice chefs. A 6-inch knife is the easiest for small hands to manipulate, but may not hold up for larger items.
Weight: Ask a group of chefs which is better - a heavier or lighter chef's knife -and you will receive a variety of answers. One answer that is consistent is that the ideal weight of your chef's knife should suit your preference.
Bluesim chef's knife weight: 8.5 oz, you can enjoy the free-flowing movement of lighter designs.
Balance: The balance of a knife is just as important as the weight and size. Balance refers to how the weight of the knife feels when it's held in your hand. If the weight of the knife keels overtly towards the blade or if the weight falls back into the handle, the balance may not be right for you. The knife should feel evenly stable when held, as if it were an extension of your own hand.
When purchasing a chef's knife, keep in mind that finding the right one is a personal decision. Take your time and have fun in the hunt, in the end you will have a knife that you love to work with.
Material-Our Bluesim Chef's knife is made from a 440A stainless steel and long-lasting high-carbon. This means that it is rust-resistant and can be used for many years. The Bluesim Professional Chef's knife is one of a kind and is hand-enhanced for ultra-sharpness.
Size and Weight-The standard length of a chef knife is 8 inches. Bluesim chef's knife is much easier to manipulate for different functions such as chopping, mincing, dicing, and slicing as it of a standard size. Some may prefer very heavy knives while others may prefer the lighter ones. Our chef's knife weighs 8.5 oz; therefore you can appreciate the lighter designs' free-flowing movement.
Balance-The chef's knife's balance is as essential as its size and weight. The balance here refers to how you feel when you hold the knife in your hand. In case the knife's weight leans towards the blade, or it falls back to knife's handle, then the balance is not right for you. The best chef knife should feel uniformly stable when it is held. It should feel like an extension of your hand.
Sharp and Beautiful-Bluesim Chef's knife is extremely sharp. It can slice through meat, vegetables, fruit, etc. with so much ease. Just like any other knife, its sharpness must be maintained. This should not be tasking at all with the use of a ceramic rod after a few months.Its wood handle is comfortable and ergonomic, not to mention exceptionally pleasing aesthetically. This knife is a result of an original transition from simple wood to metal with no problems of poor fit or gaps.
