An Edge in the Kitchen: The Ultimate Guide to Kitchen Knives -- How to Buy Them, Keep Them Razor Sharp, and Use Them Like a Pro: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "An Edge in the Kitchen: The Ultimate Guide to Kitchen Knives -- How to Buy Them, Keep Them Razor Sharp, and Use Them Like a Pro" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Why are most of us so woefully uninformed about our kitchen knives? We are intimidated by our knives when they are sharp, annoyed by them when they are dull, and quietly ashamed that we dont know how to use them with any competence. For a species that has been using knives for nearly as long as we have been walking upright, thats a serious problem. An Edge in the Kitchen is the solution, an intelligent and delightful debunking of the mysteries of kitchen knives once and for all. If you can stack blocks, you can cut restaurant-quality diced vegetables. If you can fold a paper airplane, you can sharpen your knives better than many professionals.
Veteran cook Chad Ward provides an in-depth guide to the most important tool in the kitchen, including how to choose the best kitchen knives in your price range, practical tutorials on knife skills, a step-by-step section on sharpening, and moreall illustrated with beautiful photographs throughout. Along the way you will discover what a cow sword is, and why you might want one; why chefs are abandoning their heavy knives in droves; and why the Pinch and the Claw, strange as they may sound, are in fact the best way to make precision vegetable cuts with speed and style.
An Edge in the Kitchen is the one and only guide to the most important tool in the kitchen.

First (and always) I need to thank my wife, Lisa, and my kids, Sarah and Jack. They were amazing (and amazingly patient).
As you might imagine, I had to pester a lot of people to pull this much information together. I especially appreciate Sara Moulton, Masaharu Morimoto, Russ Parsons, Michael Ruhlman, and Martin Yan for taking time out of their busy schedules to answer my questions. Dr. Dean O. Cliver and Dr. Peter Snyder helped me grasp the intricacies of microbiology and cutting board sanitation. Others I need to thank include chef Douglas Pitts, Marsha Lynch, Ron Beck and Neil Horwitz at Becks Cutlery in Cary, North Carolina, and the good folks of Knifeforums.coms In the Kitchen forum, the one place, even in the weird world of the Internet, where owning 43 chefs knives is not particularly unusual. Thanks to Lee, Curtis, Shawn, Ken, Fish, Pam, Brandon, Bob, Ed, Thom, Joe, Chad, Jered, Bert, Andy, Larrin, Nick, Curt, Mike, John, Zini, and Jim. Special thanks also to Dave Martell at D&R Sharpening for always being willing to discuss the far reaches of knife sharpening and Warren Prince for his extraordinary generosity. There are fewer than 100 certified Master Bladesmiths in the world. I had three of them who shared their time and insights with me: thanks to Murray Carter, Bob Kramer, and Kevin Cashen for their help.
This whole project would not have happened had it not been for my agent, Helena Schwartz, and my editors Harriet Bell and Gail Winston, along with the team at William Morrow: Sarah Whitman-Salkin, David Sweeney, Cassie Jones, Dee Dee DeBartolo, Aryana Hendrawan, Ann Cahn, Lorie Pagnozzi, Tavia Kowalchuk, James B. Houston, Allison Saltz-man, Mary Ann Petyak, and my copyeditor Suzanne Fass.
