Easily enough and using the upper navigation tab i clicked on "Kitchen" and it transfer us to sub domain http://www.kitchenknives.com/ .

Under the header is the twitter link http://twitter.com/knifecenter where we can follow and receive updates on hot knife deals.

The default opened tab is kitchen brands and images of the most famous and trusted manufacturers in the business of making the top knives showing the shinny blades in different shapes and sizes. clicking on the left tab "knife types & sets" here we can click the desired type to find a wide selection of great quality knives.

lets click the chef Knives, the results are arranged by Part# which is not the best way to browse for me but we have the ability to rearrange the results by price, brand and availability.

I clicked the Forschner Chef's Knife w/ 8" Stainless Steel a limited amount of information will show in the product page followed by Customers Also Purchased section and finally some customer review, For me amazon product page is more informative and helpful - Amazon's knives section review here - As for the prices the best thing to do is to compare and check prices with different online websites to make an informative decision.

beside the knives we can find other tab for blocks, cutting boards, kitchen shears, Sharpeners and much more. Knife Center is a great website and i recommend visiting it for good knives deals.

Today we are reviewing the famous online store Amazon, one of the most visited online stores which contains a wide variety of products from screws to a space ship, Just kidding not really a space ship but it got almost every thing.

lets start shopping for some quality knives and cutlery.
http://www.amazon.com

Now where to go from the home page, i used the department section to the left the closest section to find some knife was Tools and Home Improvement >> Kitchen & Bath Fixtures, but i did not found what i was looking for, So what to do now?

I used the search function to search for "Chef Knife", Found lots of results and from the left pane i discovered that the knife section is under Home, Garden & Pets, (Strange.. hmm?) >> Kitchen & Dining, well its not strange but home + garden + pets was not my first choice,

But I think that how amazon is with its confusing categorization, but thank god for the search function. Now lets examine the results we can rearrange the results by price, relevance, best selling and by customer reviews, for me the best is to sort the results by Avg. customer reviews, and that ease the search for the items i want that proved to be reliable.

I clicked one of the top item from the results and it was Victorinox 47520 Fibrox 8-Inch Chef's Knife and wow a page full of information about the product with images and videos and a related product suggestions toward the end of the page found costumer reviews which is very helpful to determine if this product is the best for my needs.

Amazon got different shipping plans to ensure that the product will be at your doorstep as soon as possible.

In conclusion, Amazon is one of the best online stores that is fun to browse and find the best deals on different products.

With just some simple clicks and without leaving our home we can find the best kitchen knife deals, no need to worry about traffic or weather with the ability to compre the prices of as many shops as we want, The Internet is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, so we don't have to hurry or worry about finding a parking spot, So lets start kitchen knife shopping.

knifeoutlet.com@11-2010

knifeoutlet.com is located at Lakeville, Indiana, USA but the location is not important as they sell only online and ship the products to your home within the united states and international orders to only U.S. military personnel on active duty overseas.

http://www.knifeoutlet.com/ on the home page there is a simple itroduction to knifeoutlet:

"Knives are our business at Knife Outlet! We sell ONLY on the web, which helps us bring you the best bargains on knives anywhere. We don't print expensive catalogs, which saves money AND the environment. We carry dozens and dozens of great brands of knives from worldwide knifemakers. So if you need hunting knives, combat knives, kitchen cutlery, sharpeners, knife rolls, multitools, or any other kind of cutlery or accessory, shop Knife Outlet today! We also have background on many manufacturers".

The website's design is very basic maybe a bit amateurish, on Firefox the navigation tab is shifted to the right, The categorization to the left is so confusing it defiantly need to have a main and a sub categorizes or the ability to chose by manufacturer or by type.

Back to the home page i used the search function to find "chef knife" the results related to my search shown but with no control over how they appear i can not rearrange the results by price for example.

the best thing at knifeoutlet.com is the nice deals they have and the cheap prices compared to other stores.

I think if knifeoutlet.com got a face lift it will be more appealing and easy to navigate through cause they are an online store that only sell through the web so it is a must for their virtual store to look organized and provide all the information to the customer.

Note:Search any item you like online using your preferred search engine to find the best price and don't be impressed by the flashy advertisement.

If you ask any professional chef which is the most important cooking tool, the answer will undoubtedly be the knife. Knives are being used since the early days of man starting with rock and bone knives.

A knife consists of a blade and a handle. Each blade has a tip, back, cutting edge and bolster. The handle may be wood, plastic or metal. In all cases a handle must fit the hand of the individual.
There is a wide range of knives: chef's knife, boning, paring, turning, filleting, carving, bread, decoration, tomato, cake, salmon slicer, cleaver, just to name a few.
