FAQs
What is the ideal length for a chef's knife?
The most common length for a chef's knife is 20 cm (8 inches), which is perfect for most kitchen tasks. However, the ideal choice depends on several factors: Hand size: Smaller hands handle 16–18 cm blades more comfortably, while larger hands may prefer a 21–25 cm blade. Personal habits: Those who favor broad movements and long cuts might lean toward longer knives; those who prioritize precision or work in tight spaces might prefer a shorter blade. Experience level: Beginners tend to choose shorter, more manageable blades, while professionals often prefer 21 or 24 cm knives for greater efficiency. In short, there is no “perfect” size for everyone — the right length should be chosen based on comfort, control, and intended use.
What’s the best way to store kitchen knives?

Avoid keeping them loose in drawers, where they can get damaged or become a safety hazard. It’s better to use a wooden block, magnetic strip, or blade guard. You can find the right solution in our catalog.

Can I put knives in the dishwasher?

It’s highly discouraged. High heat and aggressive detergents can damage both blade and handle. Knives can also knock against other items, dulling the edge.
What does "blade hardness" mean?

Hardness refers to how resistant the steel is, measured on the Rockwell scale (HRC). The harder the steel, the better it retains its edge—but it’s also more brittle and prone to chipping.
What materials are used for knife blades?
Blades can be made of stainless steel (rust-resistant), carbon steel (very sharp but delicate), or ceramic (lightweight and razor-sharp but fragile). Premium knives often use Damascus steel or advanced alloys. Not sure which to choose? Contact us—AFcoltellerie has them all.
What are knife handles made of?
Handles can be made of wood (classic but delicate), plastic (durable and hygienic), or technical materials like micarta or G-10, which are extremely tough and non-slip even when wet.
What’s the best knife for beginners?
A 20 cm chef’s knife is the most versatile option to start with. Paired with a paring knife, it covers most everyday kitchen needs.
What are the grooves (granton edge) on a blade for?
The grooves or “granton edge” reduce friction and prevent food from sticking to the blade. They’re especially useful with wet or soft foods like fish, cheese, or vegetables.
Are there knives for left-handed users?
Yes. Some single-bevel Japanese knives are made specifically for right- or left-handed use. Many universal knives, with a double bevel, work well for both.
European or Japanese knives: what’s the difference?
European knives are sturdier, with thick, curved blades for rocking cuts and tough ingredients. Japanese knives have thinner, harder blades for clean, precise slicing—but they’re also more fragile. In short: Europeans are durable and versatile, Japanese are sharp and surgical.
A complete block or an empty one?
A complete block already comes with a matching set of knives, often with a honing steel or scissors, and each slot is designed for a specific knife. An empty block is for storing knives you already own or will choose individually: in that case a magnetic or bristle block is the better choice, because it doesn't depend on the shape of each blade.
What types of knife block are there?
In slotted blocks each knife has its own slot: they are compact, but only take blades of compatible size. In magnetic blocks the blades cling to the sides of the block, stay visible and can be of different shapes; some models rotate. In bristle blocks, a bundle of plastic rods holds blades in any position. In-drawer blocks hold knives horizontally inside a drawer and keep the worktop clear.
How do I know if my knives will fit?
For slotted blocks, compare the length and height of your blades with the measurements on the product page: tall blades, such as santokus, cleavers or some Japanese knives, often won't fit standard slots. For magnetic blocks, check the maximum blade length and number of knives stated by the manufacturer. Never force a blade into a narrow slot: it damages the edge.
Are slotted blocks hygienic?
Slots are hard to clean inside, so only put knives away clean and completely dry: moisture left in the slots encourages mould and odours. Every so often, turn the block upside down to shake out dust and debris. If hygiene is a priority, magnetic blocks, which wipe clean with a cloth, and blocks with removable bristles are easier to keep clean.
Does a block protect the edge?
Yes, compared with a drawer where knives knock against other utensils. In angled slotted blocks, it's best to insert the blade edge-up, so it doesn't drag along the bottom of the slot. On magnetic blocks, place the spine first and then the blade, without letting the edge snap against the surface.
How do I clean a knife block?
Wooden blocks should be wiped with a slightly damp cloth and dried straight away: no soaking and no dishwasher. Removable bristles can be washed in warm water with a mild detergent and refitted only once dry. For steel models, a cloth with a non-abrasive cleaner is enough. For any wood treatment, follow the manufacturer's instructions.
