JA Henckels has been making good value for the money cutlery since 18965 and they have an entire collection of knives which never need sharpening – they are sold under the Everedge and Eversharp brand names and most feature a micro-serrated edge. JA Henckels makes a professional quality line called Eversharp Pro which is designed to be sturdy, hygienic and break proof.
Knife hygiene is a direct function of construction – if a knife has any irregularities or the tang is loose or the rivets not perfectly aligned then the opportunity for germs and bacteria exists. Most professionals wipe their knives with a damp towel to clean them so the entire knife should be smooth and seamless.
Knife comfort is also a function of design and construction – some cutlery features ergonomically designed handles while other knives are designed to be perfectly balanced. The key is to select knives which you can grasp easily and comfortably – this will help to reduce fatigue.
