Serrated knives, such as bread knives or steak knives, are specially designed for cutting products with a hard exterior and soft interior. These knives usually stay sharp longer than plain-edged knives, but once they become dull, sharpening them is a lot more challenging. This is because each tooth of the serration has to be sharpened individually. Nevertheless, with a special knife sharpener for serrated knives, it is possible to sharpen serrated knives yourself.

We might be exaggerating a little when we state that enjoying a piece of steak is much, much better when we first cut it with a good steak knife. When your knife easily slices through the meat you simply can’t wait to start eating. But that is not all, nicely designed steak knives, with stunning wooden handles will make any set table look even better. It is for a reason that steak knives are also called table knives. You often purchase them in [sets](kato://content/migrated_pageid_176), but there are also people who purchase these knives individually and take them with them when they go out for dinner.


## What characterizes a good steak knife?


Good [steak knives](kato://content/migrated_pageid_98) have a slim and narrow blade to make sure you easily glide through the meat. The edge needs to be razor-sharp. The danger of a blade that is too thick and blunt is that you need to apply much pressure to cut through your steak. Before you know it you can slip leaving you with a ‘red sauce’ on your plate.


Steak knives are available with serrated and with plain edges. The general rule of thumb is that steak knives should have a ‘plain edge’. Serrations would only mask a lack of sharpness. This is partially true. Did you only purchase a steak knife (set) to cut your steak, entrecote or tenderloin? If so we recommend a steak knife with a nice plain edge. The downside of a serrated steak knife is that the edge cuts into the meat (like when you cut a loaf of bread, for instance, where this is a good thing), after which you pull your steak apart, as it were, instead of cutting it. This ruins the structure of the meat and unnecessarily removes the juices from the meat.

Laguiole knives are the ultimate example of the gentleman's knife, with their bon-vivant look and their ability to cut through steak without any problems. In some restaurants in Aubrac it is even the norm not to place any steak knives on the table, as the guests are expected to whip out their own Laguiole knife. Unfortunately, these knives are often copied, but you can trust us to provide knives from high-quality brands such as Forge de Laguiole, Fontenille Pataud and Laguiole en Aubrac.

## Cooking with a slow cooker: take your time


It sounds pretty obvious: you need to take your time when you are using a slow cooker. And that is exactly the case since some dishes can take up to six hours to cook. The longer and less-hot you will steam your meat courses, the moister the meat.


## Everything in the slow cooker!


There are countless variations of stews out there, such as the Flemish stew, Italian Ossobuco, Irish stew, Russian Beef Stroganoff, and Indonesian Rendang. Stews are perfect to process left-over low quality meats. However, the slow cooker can do much more than that. Soup, Italian ragout, and even fudge can be made using the slow cooker. And what about frozen foods? The slow cooker can work with all of it.


**Tip:** remove the insert before filling the slow cooker. This will prevent you from spilling in the machine itself or on the heating element.


**Tip:** only add ingredients such as shellfish, fish, and dairy products at the end. This will benefit the flavour of the dish.


## Meat courses


Lean meat with little fat can dry out quickly. For this reason we recommend fatty meats. Take for instance, beefsteak and butler steaks. However, also lamb chops, spareribs or poultry are great. First you could shortly brown the meat to give it a delicious crust. If you don’t have time to do this you can also immediately place the meat in the slow cooker without browning it first. However, when you do we advise you to extend the cooking time of the recipe.


## Vegetable courses


Simply cooking vegetable courses in the slow cooker is something we advise against. After all, the quality of the vegetables does not get any better after hours in a slow cooker. If you cook your vegetables in the slow cooker all the vitamins and other important bio-active substances will be lost. Do you truly want to benefit from your vegetables? Simply blanch them in boiling water to prevent the loss of vitamins. In short, adding vegetables for flavour is, of course, great, but don’t do it for the vitamins.


Tip: blanch your vegetables in advance to prevent vitamin-loss.


## Vegetarian dishes


Don’t make the mistake of adding raw beans or any other legumes such as lintels and chickpeas to the cooker. These products are filled with phytohaemagglutinin which can be poisonous in small dosages. This substance will only be deactivated when it reaches temperatures above 100 degrees. Instead, add, at the end of the cooking process, pre-cooked beans (from a can). Other meat substitutes such as eggs, nuts, tempeh, and tofu can easily be added to the slow cooker.

## 2: A knife for food prep


By ‘food prep’ we are referring to everything related to food. From peeling an apple to slicing an orange, through to proper chopping in the kitchen. It won't be the first time that we use a pocket knife because we can't find a decent knife in the kitchen of a friend or family member.


On a snack board, too, a nice pocket knife looks a lot better than a simple paring knife. The [Opinel pocket knives](kato://content/migrated_pageid_667) are our favourites for this. And, in many restaurants, you get given a horrible serrated steak knife with your steak. These are gruesome knives that can completely obliterate the fine structure of the tender meat. In those cases, we're always happy to have a decent knife from our own collection on hand, to do justice to the meat.

6 reasons to keep a knife handy

## Why stainless steel rusts

There are a couple of external factor that cause rust: moisture, acid and salt. This is reinforced by heat. 'But I am not storing my knife in a jar of salt which means it can't rust?' Yes it still can. After all, you can come across salt in many more places. Think of sweat on your fingers, in certain foods and sea air.

Sea air is the main cause of rust when it comes to stainless steel. The air contains a combination of moisture and salt: quite disastrous for knife steel. We read it on knife forums all over the world: collectors who live close to the coast sometimes deal with rust, even with extra maintenance.

Fruit acids are another catalyst. If, for instance, you peel an apple and forget to wipe off the blade. Yes, the first couple of times this won't be an issue. However, at one point you shouldn't be surprised to find rust. VG10 steel is stainless and is used for pocket and kitchen knives. Stainless, as long as you know how to handle it. Accidentally put it in your dishwasher and you can definitely find some corrosion on the blade. It is the result of the combination of temperature, salt from the detergent, water (of course) and the aluminium in the dishwasher. You only have to place a steak knife with aluminium rivets in the handle next to your kitchen knife in the dishwasher and you create a situation where rust can do whatever it want. It has nothing to do with the quality or heat treatment of the steel: it can happen, it's a part of it and can be avoided or solved.

Why can stainless steel still rust?

## Question to Knivesandtools:


During a demonstration of a prototype of the Fenix RC10 (a rechargeable torch that will become available in early May 2012) with the police, the following question was asked:



> 
> Has the RC10 got a smart charger that first discharges the accumulator before charging, to ensure we don't get the same problems as with the Maglites, where the accumulator's capacity steadily decreases?
>

Is a smart charger a must?

In our latest YouTube interview with Ben Petersen from KNAFS, we dove into the world of knives, community and hands-on production. Just back from Blade Show in Atlanta, Ben shared his excitement about the growing momentum in the knife community and the support of his loyal 'Moon Crew' fans.

One of the main highlights was the introduction of KNAFS’ own CNC-milled knife, the Little Lulu, expected to arrive at Knivesandtools later this autumn. A knife without jimping? “We don’t know how to do that yet,” Ben joked, while stressing how valuable the learning process is now they’re bringing more production in-house.

We also got a sneak peek of the Swanky Sendy, a premium version of the Sendy model with a nautical twist – and a name as quirky as Ben himself. He also confirmed that a slipjoint is in the works, designed to meet European regulations: a non-locking, one-handed opener. Expect something special, with both brass and micarta versions in the pipeline.

Another standout moment? The Lander 6 – a surprisingly sturdy keychain knife made in Taiwan, purpose-built with younger knife enthusiasts in mind. And as if that’s not enough, Ben teased a playful new collaboration with Knivesandtools featuring a typical Dutch touch: think “food-themed scales” on a Lander.

Beyond the product updates, Ben also shared his thoughts on the differences between American and European knife fans. Spoiler: he’s a big fan of the relaxed and courteous Dutch vibe. His goal? For the community to keep growing independently of him. “I want to be the facilitator, not the ringleader.”

An open-hearted and energetic conversation, just as we’ve come to expect from Ben. And with **Have a Knives Day** around the corner, there’s plenty to look forward to.

Interview with Ben Petersen (KNAFS): slipjoints, CNCs and community vibes

The axe is one of humanity’s oldest tools. We have been sharpening rocks for thousands of years, and around 6000BC we started adding a handle for increased cutting power. Our human ancestors used these implements to dig up roots, cut wood and butcher animals, and for war. Fast forward a couple of thousand years and the axe remains a vital and steadfast tool in the history of humans. For some cultures (the Vikings in particular), the axe is even an integral part of their national heritage and culture, and plays a vital role in the historical narrative of their ancestry.


The modern axe, as we know it today, came into full effect during the industrial era, and with it came a wave of consumers and companies using the axe for large scale forestry to meet the need for timber in building our ever expanding towns and cities. Axes became standardised, mass produced and built to perform to the demands of industry.


To today’s modern outdoorsman, it is an absolutely essential tool. Revered and fetishised, as well as utilised and hard-worked, the humble axe is as useful today as it was to our ancestors 10 thousand years ago.


## Back to their Roots


According to the company, the design of the Norden series embodies Fiskars long heritage of axe craftsmanship, a tradition that dates back to the 17th century. Fiskars have been around a long time, and know what they’re up to when it comes to tool making. From garden tools, to crafts, and of course axes, they have established themselves as a company dedicated to producing affordable quality tools for everybody.


The existing Fiskars range of axes are well respected and trusted in their own right, finding their home primarily in fans of steel axes such as Estwings and modern Husqvarnas, and the X series have been a staple for people who want ‘nothing fancy’ woodworking and processing tools. 


Departing from their signature style with this new range however, the award-winning design opts instead to incorporate a hickory handle in place of the usual hollow fibre, giving the Norden a beautiful look of traditional meets modern. So how does it feel?

Great with the NL Pure 10x42 or 12x42! The pair can be focused with one hand. In comparison to other brands the binoculars are all the same size. As such it doesn't matter which magnification you go with!

## KMFS RIVAL Stealth
The [KMFS RIVAL Stealth](kato://product/KFRIVAL) is an entry-level sharpening system. It is a simple and accurate sharpening system, but definitely not inferior. This system is more affordable thanks to the clamp. It is a lot simpler. Loosen both screws with the supplied Allen key and place the blade in the clamp. Then tighten the top screw. Now loosen the bottom screw. This screw presses on the inside against the bottom of the clamp. This really clamps the knife firmly in place.

This system is also comprised of one piece of aluminium. This makes the system lightweight, but also very rigid and therefore very precise. This sharpening system excels at the ease with which you adjust the sharpening angle. Turn one of the adjusting screws to change the sharpening angle. It doesn't get any easier than that.
