Features of Fiskars knives
Fiskars understands how important it is to have good knives at home for successful cooking. It is for this reason that the company has developed a wide range of knife models for various tasks.
Description
Fiskars knives are made from quality materials. They are suitable both for solving everyday tasks of the hostess and for preparing professional dishes. Several models have received awards and positive reviews from the world's best chefs. The developers spent a lot of time creating the shape of the products. Today these products combine attractive design, safety and ergonomics. The design provides a Softgrip system and additional stops that allow you to cut at any angle.
When it comes to cooking, there is nothing worse than a dull blade. It is for this reason that Fiskars has developed the Roll-Sharp knife sharpener with a special steel edge.
Accessories with this package will always be sharp and ready for action.
Peculiarities
Sometimes food preparation requires extra cutting precision. On busy days, the chef may need a special tool that is easy and simple to work with in the kitchen. The presented products combine a well-thought-out shape, while being perfectly balanced. Regardless of the thickness of the product, the knife penetrates the pulp and cuts it fairly quickly. Each model is easy to use. Some items are dishwasher safe.
Worth noting is the Fiskars Edge knife set that combines functionality, durability and innovative design. Despite the fact that these knives have a thick stainless steel blade and a massive ergonomic handle, they are very easy to use, since the weight of the structure is correctly distributed between the handle and the cutting edge.

How to choose?
When choosing a kitchen knife, professionals advise you to pay attention to some rules, which will be discussed below.
- The long blade is able to cut a large piece of any food, shortening the cooking time. For bulky ingredients such as bread, fresh spinach, a piece of meat or fish, it is best to choose just such a product. The result is a clean, beautiful, even cut.
- The short blade is ideal for peeling fruits and vegetables. The small blade gives maximum control, so the cleaning process with such a knife is safe for the chef.
- A wide blade is necessary for chopping food on the board. The height of the blade prevents your hand from hitting the surface of the cutting board. You can buy a Japanese or classic chef's utility knife.
- The thin blade makes it possible to cut the product into attractive slices. The thinner the knife, the thinner the piece.
- A thick knife is necessary for rough work, when it is required not so much to cut meat as to cut a bone, a tendon. With such a tool, it becomes easier to process cartilage, chop dense vegetables, for example, an artichoke.
- The serrated edge is suitable for any food with a hard surface and soft interior. This design is mandatory for bread, it is also suitable for tomatoes, citrus fruits, as well as for cakes and pastries. It is worth paying attention to the type of chipping: deeply convex combs with pointed teeth are amazingly sawing crisp bread, but at the same time tearing tender flesh.
For a softer cutting action, a knife with a smooth, wavy serration is selected.
