The Ultimate Kitchen Knife Guide

If you’re like most people, you probably have a big ol’ wooden block or a drawer just full of knives … only to use just one or two of said knives whenever you need to do some chopping. The rest of them just kind of hang out, looking cool. (This can’t just be me, right?) To help you use all of the knives in your kitchen to their full chopping ability, we’re sharing a pretty darn amazing infographic from FIX. This Kitchen Knife Guide shows you — very simply — which knives do what and why, with tips on cleaning, storing and more!
