The vegetable knives at Tyrolit Life – a question of blade shape
A vegetable knife in the kitchen is just as essential as vegetables for a healthy diet. These foods are versatile and enhance a wide variety of dishes. However, for many chefs, cleaning, peeling, and cutting represent time-consuming preparatory tasks
The time-consuming preparation of vegetables can be significantly reduced with the help of special vegetable knives, which you can buy online at Tyrolit. The range includes everything from utility knives and paring knives to santoku knives with a wide blade spine, and even boning and chopping knives.
The Tyrolit Life range includes both vegetable knives in a practical knife set and as individual additions to your knife block – including:
The right vegetable knife depends on its intended use. There’s a noticeable difference whether you’re slicing garlic into paper-thin slices or peeling and chopping a pumpkin into bite-sized pieces.
Vegetable knives come in various shapes tailored to their particular purposes. Typically, the cutting edge is perfectly straight (unlike the serrated edge of a bread knife), while the top edge of the blade slightly curves. Despite this, the blades are quite narrow, with their length ranging from 8 to 23 cm, depending on the model.
Tyrolit Life’s assortment of vegetable knives enables effortless vegetable processing and is also suitable for more specialized tasks. For instance, round vegetables and fruits can be quickly peeled using a special paring knife – a bird’s beak knife.
This knife is considered part of the vegetable knife category but features a different design. The blade curves downwards, resembling a bird’s beak, facilitating easy peeling tasks. The bird’s beak knife is also a common inclusion in many vegetable knife sets.
For larger vegetables, such as types of cabbage, using bigger vegetable knives with blade lengths of about 18 cm is advisable. As with other types of knives, the importance of an ergonomically designed handle, which balances with the blade’s weight, cannot be overstated.
Vegetable knives made of high-quality materials – made in TYROL
In principle, vegetable knives are available in a wide variety of designs. Whether blade made of damask or carbon steel, metal or wooden handle made of cherry or olive – there are hardly any limits to the design options here. What unites them, on the other hand, is the blade structure and sharpening – as we have already mentioned – which differ from the bread knife or cheese knife, for example.
High-quality vegetable knives from Tyrolit Life can be found in both the Iceline and the distinctive Darkline. In addition to colour and shape, they also differ in the materials used.
Tyrolit Life relies on high-end chrome stainless steel for the knives of the Darkline knife series on the one hand, and on stainless steel blades and plastic handles for the Iceline on the other. Thanks to special hardening processes, the blades of both knife series are extra resistant, durable and sharp: the vegetable knives can be used for peeling and cutting a sensitive orange or as a tomato knife, but also for cutting hard root vegetables such as carrots or celery tubers.
How can my vegetable knife be optimally maintained?
The care of a vegetable knife begins with proper storage. To prevent the blade from becoming dull prematurely, knives should be stored individually and well protected. For this purpose, Tyrolit offers a special blade guard for purchase online. Alternatively, storing them in a knife block, which can also be acquired online from Tyrolit, is recommended. As the blades do not come into contact with other knives and kitchen utensils in a block, dulling is effectively avoided.
Over time, even high-quality blades will dull. To achieve a precise cut, it is advised to avoid dishwashing (as the knives are only partially dishwasher-safe) and to regularly use a sharpening stone or honing rod. These tools remove the upper layer of material, resulting in a new and exceptionally sharp edge.
As a specialist in sharpening tools, Tyrolit presents a comprehensive selection of sharpening systems, comprising grinding blocks, abrasive felts, grinding rods, and whetstones. Each type is crafted with high quality and is available for convenient online purchase.
Special cutting boards – for always sharp kitchen knives
Besides optimal care and proper storage, it is important to consider an appropriate base during cutting tasks. Cutting vegetables on an unsuitable surface may cause the vegetable knife’s blade to dull or become damaged. High-quality cutting boards available for purchase online at Tyrolit provide an ideal and blade-friendly surface.
These boards are crafted from premium wood, ensuring hygiene and durability. Since wood is a natural, living material, the surface of the cutting board slightly yields during cutting tasks, preventing any damage to the blade. Moreover, Tyrolit’s cutting boards feature a convenient juice groove and an integrated sharpening stone for swift resharpening, facilitating effortless cutting work.
In the Tyrolit Life online shop, you will find the entire range of vegetable knives from the Tyrolean abrasive and blade expert. Each knife is manufactured according to the highest quality standards to support you in daily as well as special tasks in the kitchen.
In addition, in the online shop, you will also find a variety of accessories for your knives – from knife sharpeners to cutting boards to knife blocks – so you can enjoy your knives for a long time!
For precise cutting of vegetables, we recommend our own vegetable knives. With their sharp, smooth blade made of stainless steel, they offer optimal cutting performance and precision.
Which knife is ideal for hard vegetables?
A knife with a stable and sharp blade is recommended for cutting hard vegetables. A classic chef’s knife or Santoku knife with a wide and sturdy blade is well suited for this purpose. These types of knives usually have sufficient length and strength to cut through hard vegetables such as pumpkin, kohlrabi or roots.
What do I use a vegetable knife for?
A vegetable knife is versatile. It is perfect for cutting, cleaning, and chopping various vegetables. Thanks to its special shape and sharp blade, it allows for precise and efficient work in the kitchen.
Which knife is suitable for both meat and vegetables?
A universally applicable knife that is suitable for both meat and vegetables is the chef’s knife. Chef’s knives are distinguished by their versatile shape, which combines a wide blade with a slightly curved tip. These features facilitate precise vegetable cutting as well as meat portioning.
The broad blade of the chef’s knife provides ample surface area for easily cutting vegetables like onions, bell peppers, or carrots. Meanwhile, the knife’s gently curved tip enables precise cuts and control.
Thanks to its length and solidity, the chef’s knife can also be efficiently used for meat cutting. It is exceptionally well-suited for slicing steak or poultry.
Vegetable knives with serrated edges or plain?
Our vegetable knives feature a smooth blade that enables precise cutting of vegetables. The serrated edge is found on other knife models of ours, designed for specific tasks such as slicing through hard bread.
What is a Nakiri knife?
Nakiri is the traditional Japanese vegetable knife. The blade is usually between 45 and 50 mm wide and about 15 to 18 cm long.
