Characteristics and features of knives company TalleR

Taller company is engaged in the production of kitchen utensils and accessories. Today we will dwell on one of the positions - kitchen knives.

They can be sold both in retail and in whole sets, which, in addition to knives, can include scissors and a stand for all items in the set.

The manufacturer manufactures knives of stainless steel, labeled 420S45. This brand has a high resistance to corrosion, which allows to increase the service life of manufactured products.

The blades are cold-treated, making the sharpening process easier and faster.

The handle has a rounded shape, comfortably fits in your hand. The back of the blade (heel) has an anti-slip shape.

The handle and the blade represent the perfect balance, and with skillful handling it is a pleasure to work with such a knife.

The range of the company Taller has several lines, including single knives and whole sets. The set of single copies includes the knife itself with a steel blade and a cover.

Let's take a closer look at each line.

The blades are made of steel, the handle is made of composite material.

The following models of knives are produced in this collection:

• cook (chef's knife), the blade is wide and long (20 cm) - a universal helper in the kitchen: chops vegetables and fruits, cuts meat and fish, thinly slices cheese and sausage;
• for steak - This is a highly specialized device with a blade length of 11.5 cm and a serrated edge for better grip with the material being cut, the handle is slightly bent and adjusted to the grip of the hand;
• universal - has the same dimensions as the previous version, the only difference is that its blade is even, not jagged, like the device for steaks;
• loin - the blade is narrow and flexible with a length of 15 cm, this blade structure allows you to quickly separate the fillet of meat or fish from the bone;
• straight knife - blade shape is wide and short, only 9 cm long, it is convenient to remove the peel from fruits and vegetables with such a device;
• curved cleaning knife - the blade is short, only 7 cm in length, slightly concave in the middle, suitable for cutting out the “eyes” of potatoes and spoiled places of vegetables and fruits.

The design of this collection is strict and concise. The handle is made of impact-resistant thermoplastic resin, or more simply, plastic. There are several holes on the handle so that the hand does not fog up during operation.

The main color of the knife handle is black and only the inside of the holes is diluted with an orange rim. The ruler consists of the following options:

• cook;
• Santoku;
• universal;
• for cleaning;
• for cutting.

This is the brightest and most elegant collection. The handles of the knives are made of bright red plastic, covered with anti-slip silicone coating. All appliances have a removable blade case with a comfortable eyelet so you can hang it. The company logo and fancy ornament are embossed on the case.

It also has small air vents. On the blade - the company logo. The handle does not have a protective overlap on the blade, but at the expense of the silicone coating in the hand is held fairly confidently. The ruler consists of three knives:

• cook;
• for cutting;
• for cleaning.

The instruments of this collection have a slightly different structure of the handle - they do not have a characteristic “influx” on the blade, which makes hand grip more comfortable, but the handle itself is made of wood, which significantly reduces its sliding even in a wet hand.

In this line there are the following varieties:

• cook - has a slightly curved shape of the handle, the blade length is standard for the chef's knife - 20 cm;
• Santoku knife (translated from Japanese means "three in one") and is intended to cut into slices, chop into large pieces and chop into fine chips, the blade is wide and heavy, its length is 18 cm, sharpening is asymmetric, at the tip of the blade are sharper, there are small cavities for better cutting quality;
• universal - with a cone-shaped blade 13 cm long;
• cleaning knife - slightly curved, blade length 9cm.

The peculiarity of this line is that the products are completely made of steel. Blades are used for the blades. They are covered with a special compound, as a result of which they acquire a dark gray asphalt shade and increased resistance to corrosion. And the handle is made of stainless steel.

There are two items in this collection:

• cook;
• boning - a knife for removing bones in fish and meat, the blade is thin and curved, the length is 15.5 cm, it is very convenient for them to make thin cuts and cut a bone or a joint from the pulp.

To prevent steel from contact with the aggressive environment of detergents, salts and various acids, it is recommended to wash Taller knives by hand rather than in the dishwasher.

If chemicals are spilled on the metal surface, it may cause smudges, dark spots and rust.

For sharpening, you should use special stones, musat and other devices designed for steel blades.

Products of this brand are characterized by high quality, therefore they are in great demand even among professional culinary specialists.

At the same time, their prices are very democratic, which favorably distinguishes them from their counterparts from German and Japanese manufacturers.

Especially a lot of positive feedback is the design - in almost all the lines it represents a single whole blade and handle, which gives aesthetic pleasure during operation.
