An In-depth Look At Chef Knives Sets Manufacturers

Hypiglas, Gustav Emil Ern, Victorinox and Sai. What do all of these brand names have in common? The answer is that they all produce good quality, durable and professional chefs knives sets for the catering environment. Any chef working in a kitchen needs a good quality chefs knives set to aid with the preparation and cooking of meals, so it is very important the knives chosen are of high standard.

Looking a bit deeper into the different types of chefs knives available to buy on the market, let's start with Hypiglas. It is possible to buy chefs knives sets from this manufacturer with different types of handle; whatever is best for the user. Colour coded options are available; these make it easy for the user to identify which knife they need at first glance and help to speed up up the cooking process. Additionally, they can help to keep knives separate, and ensure that they are only used on the same meat/produce to help avoid cross contamination.

Nylon handled knives are also available - these are quite commonly used and give a strong, sturdy feel to the knife in question. With these sets from Hypiglas, it is possible to get a nylon wallet included, to store the knives in when not in use.
Moving on to Gustav Emil Ern chefs knives sets, there are quite a few options to choose from in terms of design and style. It is possible to get handles that are moulded or riveted, and the riveted ranges have two options - fully forged or stamped. Additionally, accessories such as sharpening steels and wallets are possible to buy.

Victorinox likewise have a wide range of designs with various types of handles to choose from; Frbrox nylon, Microban and rosewood to name a few. The Microban handles are specially designed to inhibit the growth of bacteria where possible, which keeps hygiene levels up and stops contamination and odour problems occurring on the knives. Victorinox also offer knife cases that are sold separately and can hold up to 20 individual knifes. They can be secured with padlocks to ensure the knives are safe.

Sai knives are Japanese in origin and have stainless steel, high carbon blades. These are long lasting and rust resistant, and have a very professional look and feel to them. The Sai chefs knives sets come with storage wallets included in the price.
Whichever chefs knives sets you choose, and there are many more manufacturers to choose from, it is important to ensure the knives match up to the standards you need them to - for example, are they dishwasher safe? Many commercial kitchens have a dishwasher to save time and keep hygiene levels at a maximum, so the knives will need to be able to be safe to be washed this way. Additionally, knives that are rust resistant are also a plus, for obvious reasons.

Accessories such as steels are also essential; no chef likes using a blunt knife and this can actually affect the cut of the product being prepared and slow the chef down, so it is important that knives are kept sharp and in good condition at all times.
