-The Chef Knife is made of a very strong metal that helps it last long and the chef knife is very easy to sharpen often.

- The chef knife ranges from being as big 12 inches to 8 inches.

- You should always grip the handle very hard so make sure that it feels right and not like it will fall easily.

- Intresing fact, since some chef knives have a wood handle it can have or carry diseases.

- For the reason that wood handles carry more bacteria, plastic handles are mostly bought.

 

- As we have already covered a tang, but when it goes all the way  then it is reffered as a full tang.

- All chef knives do not need to have a bolster, some just don't have one.

-  A  chef knife has many purposes, really they can be used for all sorts of things.

- A chef knife can be refered as many different things like a "French knife".

- Chef knives can come in sizes as small as 6 inches.

- The bigger and longer the chef knife is the more difficulty a person will have controlling it.

- The smaller/shorter the blade of the chef knife is the easier it is to control it, also helpful to people with smaller hand like me.

- A chefs knife can really be a great investment that will be worth it later on.

- With this knife you can also use it to prepare garlic.

- A carbon steel blade will often rust when dealing with acidic foods.

 

- When you have a chef knife with a stainless steel blade doesn't rust easy but you should always sharpen it.

- A titianium blade is very good but most likely a better choice for another type of knife.

- The high carbon stainless steel blade is the same as the stainless steel blade just has the bonus of carbon.

- The most commonly bought size of a chef knife is the 8 inch one.

-No one should begin  size than an 8 inch because you have to adjust to it.
