How to identify a good kitchen knife?

Here are some elements to consider when choosing a knife:

• Blade material: Stainless steel is the most common material for kitchen knives, as it is durable, strong, hygienic and easy to clean. 
• Blade length: Knives with long blades are very versatile, but can be slightly more difficult to handle. Knives with short blades are lighter, but if the blade is too short they may not be suitable for every need.
• Blade shape: depending on the type of cut to be made, the blade is crucial. A straight blade is versatile for a variety of tasks including slicing and chopping. Heavy butcher's knives have a curved blade and are more effective and suitable for cutting meat and bones. Filetting knives have a thin, flexible blade that is perfect for delicately filleting fish.
• Knife handle: a non-slip handle is essential for safety during cutting. The knife handle must be practical and ensure a firm and secure grip. 
• Blade sharpening: a sharp knife is easier to use and allows for a clean cut. Knives can be sharpened either by hand or with Sharpeners.
