Big Kids (10-18-year old): Wusthof 6” Classic Cook’s Knife ($59.95 on Amazon)
One of the best ways to get big kids into the kitchen is to let them take on tasks they perceive as exciting. Wielding a big knife certainly tops that list, and by around ten years old most kids are up to the challenge. Sharp, high quality knives are actually safer than dull kiddie knives since they require less pressure to cut food. And when it comes to sharp, high quality knives, you can’t go wrong with Wusthof. Their classic cook’s knife comes in a 6-inch size that is perfect for smaller hands. Be sure to watch a few YouTube videos on proper technique together, or perhaps take a family cooking skills class!
