Kitchen Knives FAQ

Is a Japanese or European knife better?

Japanese knives are harder, with sharpening angles around 15°, ideal for extremely precise but more delicate cuts. European knives (German and Italian) are more robust, easier to resharpen, and more tolerant to impact, perfect for intensive use.

Can professional kitchen knives go in the dishwasher?

No, it is strongly discouraged. Aggressive detergents, high temperatures, and impacts damage the edge and the blade surface. It is always preferable to wash knives by hand and dry them immediately after use.
