Characteristics and features of TalleR knives

Taller is a manufacturer of cookware and accessories. Today we dwell in more detail on one of the positions - kitchen knives.

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

The manufacturer manufactures stainless steel knives marked 420S45. This brand is highly resistant to corrosion, which allows to increase the service life of manufactured products.

The blades are processed in a cold way, making the grinding 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 blade represent the perfect balance, and with skillful handling, working with such a knife is a pleasure.

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

Let's consider each ruler in more detail.

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

The following knife models are available in this collection:

• cook (chef-knife), the blade is wide and long (20 cm) - a universal assistant in the kitchen: chopping vegetables and fruits, cutting meat and fish, thinly slicing 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 curved and adjusted to hold the hand;
• universal - has the same dimensions as the previous version, the only difference is that it has a flat blade, not a serrated one, like a steak device;
• loin - the blade is narrow and flexible with a length of 15 cm, this structure of the blade allows you to quickly separate the fillet of meat or fish from the bone;
• straight knife - the shape of the blade is wide and short, only 9 cm long, with such a device it is convenient to peel fruits and vegetables;
• curved cleaning knife - the blade is short, only 7 cm long, slightly concave in the middle, convenient for cutting “eyes” in potatoes and damaged places in vegetables and fruits.

The design of this collection is simple 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 inner surface of the holes is diluted with an orange rim. The lineup consists of the following options:

• cook;
• santoku;
• universal;
• for cleaning;
• for slicing.

This is the brightest and most elegant collection. Knife handles are made of bright red plastic, coated with anti-slip silicone coating on top. All appliances have a removable blade case with a convenient eyelet so that you can hang it. On a cover the company logo and the fantasy ornament are squeezed out.

It also has small ventilation holes. On the blade is the company logo. The handle does not have a protective overlap on the blade, but due to the silicone coating in the hand it holds rather confidently. The lineup consists of three knives:

• cook;
• for slicing;
• for cleaning.

The devices of this collection have a slightly different structure of the handle - they do not have a characteristic “influx” of the blade, which makes the hand grip more convenient, 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 handle shape, the blade length standard for a chef-knife is 20 cm;
• santoku knife (translated from Japanese means "three in one") and is intended to cut into slices, chop into large pieces and grind into small crumbs, the blade is wide and heavy, its length is 18 cm, the sharpening is asymmetric, the tip of the blade is sharper, on the blade itself there are small troughs for better slicing quality;
• universal - with a conical 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. For blades, blued steel is used. They are coated with a special composition, 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 products in this collection:

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

To prevent steel from coming into contact with the aggressive environment of detergents, salts and various acids, Taller knives are recommended to be washed by hand, and not in the dishwasher.

In the event that chemicals enter the metal surface, stains, dark spots and rust may occur on it.

For sharpening, special stones, debris and other devices designed for a steel blade should be used.

The products of this brand are characterized by high quality, so they are in great demand even among professional culinary specialists.

At the same time, the prices for them are very affordable, which compares them favorably with analogues of German and Japanese manufacturers.

The design is especially positive because of the design - in almost all lines it is a single unit of the blade and handle, which gives aesthetic pleasure during operation.
