A variety of usage habits may cause kitchen knives to break, and some of the behaviors that are most likely to cause breakage include:
1. Excessive or Uneven Force: When cutting food, if the force is too great or uneven, the blade may be subjected to excessive impact, resulting in breakage.
2. Improper Cutting Objects: Using kitchen knives to cut hard objects, such as bones, frozen meat or bottle caps, these hard objects will cause serious wear and tear on the blade and even cause breakage. In particular, traditional carbon steel knives are more likely to break when cutting hard objects due to their high hardness and relatively poor toughness.
3. Incorrect Sharpening Methods: Sharpening is an important step to keep the knife sharp, but if the sharpening method is incorrect, such as too large an angle or excessive grinding, it will damage the structure of the blade and increase the risk of breakage.
4. Neglecting The Maintenance Of The Knife: The knife should be cleaned and maintained in time after use to avoid damage to the blade by rust and stains. If the knife is not used for a long time, it should be properly lubricated and stored to prevent the blade from becoming brittle due to oxidation.
5. Improper Storage: Placing the kitchen knife in a damp or impact-prone place, or placing it with the blade facing down, may increase the risk of blade damage and chipping.
In order to reduce the risk of chipping of kitchen knives, it is recommended that users pay attention to the correct use and maintenance methods, choose suitable cutting objects, avoid excessive force, and regularly sharpen and maintain the knives. At the same time, when purchasing knives, you can choose brands and models with good quality, good steel toughness, and excellent workmanship to reduce the possibility of chipping.
