Simple, versatile and easy-care knives are ideal for beginners. MesserHai knife sets are characterized by their three paring knives.

1. Chef's knife: A good chef's knife with a blade length of about 20 cm is a must. It is suitable for most cutting tasks, such as cutting vegetables, meat and fish. Look for a model with an ergonomic handle and balanced weight distribution for easy handling.

2. Vegetable knife: A smaller vegetable knife, often called a paring knife, with a blade length of 7 to 10 cm, is ideal for finer cutting work such as peeling and slicing fruit and vegetables.

3. Bread knife: A bread knife with a serrated blade helps in slicing bread without crushing it. It can also be used for foods with a hard outer layer and soft interior.

MesserHai knives made of stainless steel or damask guarantee durability and easy care. Make sure that the knives fit well in your hand and are not too heavy. For beginners, it can also be a good idea to choose a knife set that includes the most important types of knives. MesserHai has optimized knife sets for this.

At MesserHai, we offer both regular steel and Damascus steel knives to meet the different needs and preferences of our customers. Here are the key differences:

1. Stainless steel (MesserHai standard line):

Material: Consists of a single type of steel selected for its reliability and functionality.

2. Damascus steel (MesserHai premium line):

Material: Made by folding and fusing different types of steel to create a unique pattern.

Features: Known for its excellent durability, sharpness and edge retention. The layering of different types of steel results in a combination of flexibility, hardness and cutting ability.

Whether you choose a knife made of regular steel or Damascus steel, we guarantee the highest quality and performance that reflects MesserHai's reputation as a trusted brand in the knife industry.

Proper care of your MesserHai knives is crucial to maximize their performance and extend their lifespan. Here are some important care tips:

1. Cleaning: Wash your knife immediately after use with warm water and mild detergent. Avoid cleaning your knives in the dishwasher as this can damage the blades and cause corrosion.

2. Drying: After cleaning, dry the knife carefully with a soft cloth to avoid rust and stains. ATTENTION! Any rust formation is completely normal on knives due to a small but necessary iron content and can be removed with mild cleaning agents.

3. Storage: Store your knives in a dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Use a knife holder, magnetic rail or special knife sheaths to protect the blades and store them safely.

4.*Sharpening: Keep your knives sharp by sharpening them regularly. Use a whetstone, whetstone rod, knife sharpener or professional sharpening service to maintain optimal sharpness.

5. Usage: Use a wooden or plastic cutting board to protect the blades. Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as glass or metal as this can damage the cutting edge.

6. Inspection: Check your knives regularly for damage or signs of wear. If there are any signs of wear or damage, contact a professional to have them repaired.

By following these care tips, you can ensure that your MesserHai knives are always in top condition and that you will enjoy them for many years.
