/ck/ - Food & Cooking

First time I get to use this.

I'm putting together a series of knife related info-graphics for /ck/, with the hope that they can be used as a starting guide for folks who come here asking questions about buying, using, and maintaining knives.

This is part 1 of the guide, discussing "how to choose a knife". I would very much appreciate it if you could read through it and give me your input. If you have any corrections or suggestions, I will gladly add them to the guide.

The topics I will cover in this series are:
Part 1: how to choose a knife
Part 2: how to sharpen and maintain a knife
Part 3: how to properly use a knife
Part 4: construction and makeup of a knife
