Hey Everybody,
I'm starting as a chef and I'm looking to buy my first knive set.
What I need is the following:
LOCATION
Belgium
KNIFE TYPE- a Chef's Knive
left handed
Are you interested in a Western handle (e.g., classic Wusthof handle) or Japanese handle?
Doesn't matter
What length of knife (blade) are you interested in (in inches or millimeters)?
min 20cm
Do you require a stainless knife? (Yes or no)
No
What is your absolute maximum budget for your knife?
250€ for the Chef's knive
KNIFE USE
Home environment
Chopping and slicing vegetables, slicing meats, cutting down poultry, trimming meats
What knife, if any, are you replacing?
None
Crosschop - Rockchop - just the basics
I want a knive that performs well without to much maintenance. I need a good allrounder since I'm just starting out.
I'm must be simple, not to much logo's or different coulors, I like basic one coulored handles
Good comfort of course, I prefer my knives a little heavier
Ease of use is very important
I'm not accustomed to sharpening so I will make errors starting out.
KNIFE MAINTENANCE
bamboo cutting board
Do you sharpen your own knives? Yes
If not, are you interested in learning how to sharpen your knives? Yes
Are you interested in purchasing sharpening products for your knives? Yes
SPECIAL REQUESTS/COMMENTS
Basic concept of what I will be doing is giving BBQ courses, focused on the correct use and prep of BBQ cuts like whole chickens, briskets and large pieces of beef. Vegetables chopped are for stews or side dishes and slicing fresh herbs. I will cook in the customers kitchen but with my own materials and cutting board. I want quality items that can last me a long time. I believe its better to pay once and use a long time.
