Other than your perseverance and “fighting spirit,” the most important thing that every aspiring chef needs is a sharp knife! (Of course, the QuinJa has sharp wit - that’s why you read, right?) After all, how is a ninja or samurai to garner victory in the kitchen without a proper katana?!
1. At a minimum, you only need two knives - a chef’s knife* and a paring knife! My favorite blade is my santoku (Japanese chef’s knife - it is a heftier blade!)
2. Always buy knives that have a full tang (e.g., the steel of the blade extends to the shaft of the handle). I went with German cold steel - Wustof Grand Prix II. Got a good deal from Amazon.
*How long? Size only matters to meglomaniacal warlords! Choose the knife that feels best in your hands - balance! It’s not the knife, it’s the wielder that holds the power!
Since you only need two knives, do not skimp - your kitchen survival depends on it! I mean, without the scene below, do you think the movie would have been called, Kill Bill?
"You will never know how sharp a sword is unless it's drawn from its sheath"
— Confucius
Let’s all keep practicing!
OK, here’s a clip of the Secret - “Super Fingers Knife” Technique!
