High-end tools for professional chefs

Professional chefs rely on very different knife types and manufacturers, depending on personal preferences and area of application. High processing quality, an ergonomic design and durability are important – for example, Tyrolit’s premium knives.

Essentially, a multitude of cutting tasks can already be accomplished with a general-purpose knife or chef’s knife. However, the more complex the task, the more specialized the knife’s requirements become. Therefore, it depends on the intended use whether additional knives, such as carving knife, filet knife, cheese knife, paring knife or peeling knives, are necessary. Conversely, a bread knife should be a staple in every kitchen.

Good knives can be found for a price of less than 100 euros. In order to keep acquisition costs low despite high quality standards, the purchase of knives in a set is a good idea. This way, premium knives can be purchased at a significantly cheaper price.

Tyrolit knives from the Iceline knife series are made of stainless steel and with a hardness of 56 HRC. The knives from the Darkline knife series, on the other hand, are made of high-end stainless chrome steel and have a hardness of 60 HRC.

As with most European knife types, a sharpening angle of 15 degrees is suitable for the Tyrolit Life chef’s knife. This angle allows a balance between sharpness and stability of the blade and is already preset in the Tyrolit Life knife sharpeners.
