Having a versatile and commercial kitchen knives set is important because it allows chefs and cooks to efficiently prepare a wide range of ingredients and dishes. Different knives are designed for specific tasks, such as slicing meats, chopping vegetables, and filleting fish. Having a set that includes a variety of knives means that you can choose the right tool for the job, which can lead to better results and increased productivity in the kitchen.
Additionally, a well-made set of knives will last for a long time, and can be sharpened and maintained to ensure they continue to perform at their best. This is why we don’t only stock quality chef knives, but also commercial-grade sharpening stones available in a range of grit sizes.
The best grit for sharpening a knife depends on the type of knife, and the desired edge. In general, a lower grit (around 200-300) is best for knives that are very dull or damaged as it will remove more metal, and create a new edge. A higher grit (around 1,000 - 3,000) is best for knives that are already sharp but need to be refined or polished.
