Which knives are the most popular that I should sell?
Statistically speaking, the regular chef’s knife is the most popular kitchen knife. Alongside other all-purpose blades such as Santoku, utility knife, and the Chinese cleaver.
However, being popular makes them much more competitive as well. Alternatively, selling specialized knives such as Nakiri or boning knives may lead you to astonishing success.
What’s the best steel for kitchen knives?
It’s a tough question to answer as all steel exists for a reason. High carbon steel sacrifices toughness for hardness that makes them wanted in professional cutting fields, while stainless steel is a more suitable choice for home chefs that deal with regular cutting needs.
In short, the steel does its best when accompanied by the right knife blade, and the right chef – that is your target customers.
What’s the best material for kitchen knife handles?
Arguably, natural wood is the best material for kitchen knife handles. They provide a natural luster and inimitable texture that no other material is able to catch up with, while also offering thousands of wood species to choose from.
Synthetic materials have their fair share of the market, though. Some leading brands like Wusthof mostly use POM as their main handle source because it doesn’t deform or discolor like some wood types do, is cost-effective, and is comfortable to hold.
