{"title":"Professional Chef Knives","description":"\u003cp\u003eProfessional-grade kitchen knives prioritise edge retention, balance, and durability through high-volume use. In a commercial kitchen, a chef knife might process hundreds of kilograms of produce per week, the steel needs to hold its edge, the handle needs to resist moisture and heat, and the blade geometry needs to support efficient technique for extended periods without causing fatigue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat separates a professional knife from a home-cook knife isn't brand prestige, it's metallurgy and construction.
