The inner core of the blade is extremely hard, which prevents it from chipping. The steel around the core is softer, which prevents the core from chipping.

Which you choose usually depends on your own size, specifically the length of your forearm, as I’ve described in the forearm test above.

It’s also great as a substitute for a utility knife for everyday cutting. This is an attractive knife with a comfortably shaped handle, made from a very durable material that has a traditional look and feel.

If you’re in a family household where the wife, husband, kids, maybe even grandparents will all be using the knife, then an 8 inch length is a good one to go for. Blade length should not be based on the size of the cook’s hands, but instead on what the knife will be used for, the size of the food to be cut, and the size of the cutting surface, as well as the comfort of the user. A 7-inch blade can be used to cut a variety of foods, while a 5-inch is better for smaller ingredients.
