Head Chef
Ok so i have never learned to use a knife the proper way becasue i dont own a proper knife. im used to 2$ knives from wal mart and what not. So the other day i decided i was going to buy me some knives. first came out the pampered chef catalog. thumbed threw it for a few knives and decided that they were to expensive for me. Went to the local spoons and spice kitchen store and they showed me some henckel and zwilling knives. Roughly the same price as the pampered chef. so being discouraged and frustrated, wondering how am i ever going to afford a good chefs knife. i went into the kitchen and opened up all our draws to see what we have. low and behold i see a chefs knife buried under all the rubble of kitchen utinsels. pull it out and its a mundial. started to look more and more and i found a total of 10 high quality knives. 3 mundials and 7 twin master henckles and zwilling knives. i was pretty stoked. all dull and damaged of course but i found a place that will professionally sharpen them for 3$ a knife.
so theres my story, heres my question. what is a chefs knife used for and what is a santoku used for and what is "rocking" a knife. bare in mind i have never used "real" kitchen knives before. all i know is that the knives feel comfortable in me hand. oh and how do i trnsport the knives. i need to take them in to get sharpend but i do not have a block or any type of covers. should i wrap them in paper towels and place them in a bag
