Choosing a knife

Chef knife: The everyday blade for chopping, rock cutting, and slicing.
Paring knife: Peeling, trimming, and detail work.
Bread knife: A serrated blade for crusty loaves, cakes, and tomatoes.
Steak knives: Straight-edged knives for the table, in sets of four or eight.

Caring for olive wood: Hand wash and dry each knife right away, and oil the handles now and then with food-safe mineral oil.
