Quel couteau de cuisine choisir pour débuter ?

Un couteau polyvalent comme un couteau de chef ou un santoku est idéal pour débuter. Il permet de réaliser la majorité des découpes du quotidien.

Quelle est la différence entre un couteau de cuisine artisanal et industriel ?

Un couteau artisanal utilise de meilleurs matériaux, bénéficie d’une finition soignée et offre une durabilité supérieure. Il est pensé pour être plus ergonomique et facile à entretenir.

Comment savoir si la lame de mon couteau est encore coupante ?

Si le couteau glisse, écrase les aliments ou demande plus d’effort qu’avant, il est recommandé de l’affûter. Un test simple consiste à couper une feuille de papier : si la lame accroche, elle doit être reprise.

Comment ranger ses couteaux de cuisine pour les garder en bon état ?

Vous pouvez utiliser un bloc, une barre magnétique ou un étui pour protéger la lame. Évitez les tiroirs, où les chocs peuvent abîmer le fil.

Le couteau de cuisine Le Stuck passe-t-il au lave-vaisselle ?

Non. Le lave-vaisselle détériore le tranchant et abîme le bois. Un lavage à la main est recommandé.

Le manche en bois nécessite-t-il un entretien particulier ?

Oui, un huilage léger de temps en temps permet de maintenir la stabilité du bois et son aspect naturel. Maison Stamm offre un service d'entretien pour votre couteau.

What is a kitchen knife?

A kitchen knife is an essential and versatile tool used for everyday food preparation.
It differs from a table knife, which is designed for dining, and from a chef’s knife, whose wider and longer blade is intended for chopping or slicing larger quantities. The kitchen knife sits between the two: robust enough to cut meat, poultry or vegetables, yet agile enough for daily preparation tasks.

Designed to be both durable and precise, an artisanal kitchen knife highlights French craftsmanship and the use of high-quality, noble materials.

In France, the making of kitchen knives is part of a long cutlery tradition.
Choosing a French kitchen knife means selecting a tool that is reliable, long-lasting and deeply rooted in authentic craftsmanship passed down through generations.

What is a kitchen knife used for?

A kitchen knife is used for most cutting tasks in the kitchen: slicing vegetables, chopping herbs, trimming meat or preparing fish. Its shape allows both straight cuts and rocking motions, making it an all-purpose tool suitable for daily cooking.

Featuring an MA5 steel blade and an ergonomic three-hundred-year-old wood handle, the Le Stuck kitchen knife combines robustness, comfort, and efficiency, meeting the needs of both food enthusiasts and everyday cooks.

How to choose your kitchen knife?

Choosing the right kitchen knife depends on balance, steel quality and ergonomics.
A good kitchen knife should feel comfortable in hand and provide stability with every movement.

The MA5 stainless steel forged in Thiers offers an ideal hardness for maintaining sharpness while remaining easy to sharpen over time.
A well-chosen handle also improves control and precision, whether cutting, chopping or mincing.

Good to know: a well-maintained knife lasts for years and can be regularly sharpened to preserve its performance.

How to sharpen and care for your kitchen knife ?

An artisanal kitchen knife requires proper care to maintain its performance and durability over time.
Here are a few simple and effective tips.

Clean by hand with a soft sponge and dry immediately after use. Avoid dishwasher cleaning, which damages both the steel and the wooden handle.

Maintain the blade regularly with a whetstone or suitable honing steel, keeping to the recommended angle.

Use a knife block, magnetic rack or protective sheath to preserve the cutting edge.

A versatile kitchen knife is ideal, allowing you to slice vegetables, prepare herbs and trim meat with ease.

An artisan knife is made using higher-quality materials, with careful finishing and greater durability.
It is designed to offer better ergonomics and easier maintenance over time.

If the knife slips, crushes ingredients or requires more effort than usual, it needs sharpening.
A simple test: try cutting a sheet of paper.

If the blade snags or tears the paper instead of slicing cleanly, it’s time to sharpen it.

Use a knife block, magnetic rack or protective sheath to preserve the blade. Avoid placing knives loosely in drawers, as impacts can damage the edge.

No. Dishwashing damages both the cutting edge and the wooden handle. Hand washing is strongly recommended.

Yes. Light oiling from time to time helps maintain the wood’s stability and natural appearance.
