Criterias of choice

Tips on what to look for when choosing:

1. Blade. The minimum size should be 19 cm. Long models are used for cutting large loaves, cakes, fruits and buns. If you take for home use, then the size of 20-23 cm will be optimal.
2. Sharpening. If the sharpening is serrated, then this will keep the sharpness of the blade for a long time. Saws the soft part without leaving crumbs. Popular models all come with this sharpening.
3. Canvas material. The most durable are titanium and steel options, the most fragile - ceramic. But, at the same time, ceramics have a more stylish design, and titanium products are distinguished by a high price.
4. Handle material. The most popular are plastic, silicone and metal. Wooden handles are extremely rare. Some firms make handles with a pattern, this gives the interior a special look.
5. The best manufacturers. Models from a domestic manufacturer can be bought on the market at an affordable price, from 100 rubles.However, Japanese models are considered the highest quality and most reliable, their price can reach up to 32,000 rubles. Which is better to buy, choose based on your needs and capabilities.

The presence of a bolster (the lower reinforced section between the handle and the cutting edge) will allow you to properly distribute the load, a long knife is suitable for cakes and fruits, the anatomical shape of the handle makes it more convenient to work with the object.
7. Price. A good, professional tool will cost quite a lot, but it will last a long time. Inexpensive (budget) options are suitable for home use, they are made of cheaper materials, their service life is relatively short.
8. Where could I buy. Can be purchased at a regular hardware store, or ordered online from an online store. When ordering online, look at how much the same model costs on different resources, then make a purchase.
