Steak Knives, Chef Knives and Knife Sets
Having the proper knives in your kitchen is crucial for not only preparing meals but eating them, too. Whether you're just making a quick weeknight meal or hosting an elaborate holiday dinner, the right blades will make each step more efficient. Abt's selection of knife sets, chef knives and more are an essential in every kitchen whether you love cooking gourmet meals—or just eating them. We offer the best of the best brands from Japanese Santoku knives to French steak knives. Investing in quality pieces is crucial to properly prepare and enjoy your meals no matter what is on the menu. After all, no one wants to sit down to a perfect medium-rare ribeye and not be able to cut through the thick meat. If you love adding freshly minced garlic to your homemade pasta sauce, the right utensil will make the process much easier. Your selection should fit your cooking style so you have exactly what you need and nothing you don't. If you're overwhelmed by options, though, one of our knife sets is a great place to start.
A Knife for Every Use
If you're looking to invest in all-new culinary equipment or are building your wedding registry, Abt's knife sets are a great option. These bundles include a utensil for various applications like slicing, dicing, chopping or mincing. You can also find knife sets with items like a sharpening stick or kitchen shears to add another layer of functionality to your setup. Many sets come with a knife block so you have a place to keep your investment safe and secure; some of the blocks even have a sharpening feature so your blades are always ready to use. Of course, if you're an advanced chef and want a more specialized collection, Abt offers individual options as well. Each knife has specific uses for which they are designed, so it's important to assess what you need before purchasing.
Chef knives are a multifunctional tool worth investing in. These blades can slice, dice, carve and even cut fruits and vegetables with thick skin, like pineapple. A Santoku blade offers similar multipurpose cutting to chef knives but is slightly thinner, making it ideal for precision cutting. While you certainly don't need both, they each have their pros and cons so there's nothing wrong with investing in both options. If you love making bread from scratch or eating bagels for breakfast, you need a bread knife; they have a long, serrated blade that can easily cut through thick dough whether it's hard or soft. We offer plenty of highly-specialized blades as well, whether you're removing meat from the bone, cutting through a watermelon or slicing cheese for a charcuterie board. Even if you're not much of a cook, investing in a great set of steak knives is crucial for mealtime. If you have questions about a particular knife or are looking to invest in new cutlery, please call our experts at 800-860-3577.
