Kitchen Knives

Kitchen knives are intended for use in food preparation. There are a few general purpose styles. There are also many specialized knife designs.

The most recognizable feature of kitchen knives (as well as all knives in general) is the blade. Less people are familiar with the other different features. These include the handle, the tang, and the bolster.

The tang of a knife is the extension of the blade through the handle. The handle is created from either wood or a synthetic material. Bolsters are thick pieces of metal located between the handle and the blade. They add balance and safety. However, not all kitchen knives include them.
