Dave Cook Kitchen Tools…Making the CUT
April 7th, 2009
So it’s not typical that you walk into a kitchen and make comments about how cute (that’s right cute) someone’s knives are, but, it actually has become a typical statement at my house.
I recently received this unique line of kitchen knives and butcher block that is so stylish that the knives are being called cute! I don’t know if it is the simplicity of the wood block or the rubber red grips on the knives that are stealing the attention away from my colorful Kitchenaid, but, these knives are definitely making the cut when it comes to style.
The 4 slot storage block comes with the essential knives: 3 1/4 paring knife, 5 1/2 boning knife, 7’ utility knive, and the 8 1/2 chef’s knife. So, the cute red grip is actually my favorite thing about each knife. It has a new design unlike any other handle that provides superior comfort and control. The grip doesn’t hurt after cutting through tough meat or an awkward sized melon. The grip makes cutting things so much easier. The handle design actually acts like a shock absorber so it helps reduce any potential wrist or hand stress when cutting.
The blades make the cut too…literally. They are 440-A stainless steel and in knife terminology that means it is very durable and can cut through things with ease.
These knives are the first of their kind to transform the structure and design of the knife. Truly cutting edge.-Amber

These are such cute knives—if I knife set can be called cute! For the know-how tip, I always knew you shouldn’t wash find cutlery in the dishwasher but I never really knew why. Now I know why: because the intense heat and temp changes can dull the blade. Who knew? Great find, Amber!

A tip: For cutting and peeling small vegetables a small, paring style blade is usually best.

For fine work where a longer blade is needed a boning knife is most useful.
