The Knife Wizard

Arguably, one of the most important purchases you are going to make for your kitchen is your knife set. Proper knifes are what separate the amateur from the professional chef— a good set not only give you cleaner, safer cuts, but also give you the proper mindset that helps you grow your skills. This all started because I was shocked at the terribly subpar reviews and general lack of information out there. Since I have a strong background in a variety of things including cooking, engineering, production, and whatnot, I thought that I would take it upon myself to create REAL reviews based on having the various knives in my possession.
