Knives come in all sorts of different shapes and sizes, and its hard to know which kind is best for what youre cutting. Stop referring to your knives as the big one or the small one.” Learn the names and uses of all the essential kitchen knives right here and you’ll feel like a pro!

A boning knife has a narrow blade that is about 6 inches long. It is ideal for removing bones from various meats. A stiff boning knife is required for beef and pork, while a flexible one is better for fish and poultry.

A bread knife has a long blade that is blunt, rather than pointed, at the end. The blade is serrated, making it easy to cut through crusty breads and rolls with soft centers.

A cheese knife is used for (surprise!) cutting cheese. It has a unique design in that it curves slightly upward and often has two points on the end. Cheese knives also contain holes in the blade, which prevent the cheese from sticking.

The blade of a chefs knife usually ranges from 6 to 12 inches. It has the more traditional triangular-shaped blade, which allows the chef to cut various foods by rocking the knife back and forth. The chefs knife is an all-purpose knife and can handle many different tasks, from chopping vegetables to cutting through bone.

Often referred to as a butcher knife, a cleaver is a very large knife with a boxy blade. It’s a strong and sturdy knife, designed to withstand hard blows to meat and bone.

A paring knife is small and has a short (usually about 2 to 4 inches), sharp blade. It is perfect for performing intricate tasks, such as peeling fruit or trimming vegetables.

The peeling knife has one of the smallest blades. It is short, narrow, and curves slightly downwards near the end. Its shape makes it perfect for wrapping around rounded fruits and vegetables as you peel them. This kind of knife can also be used for intricate work, such as carving garnishes.

There are many types of knives around. Here you will find the most popular and the most useful.

Boning knives as it names implies is used for removing the bones from joints of meat. The typical blade on a boning knife is approximately 15 cm in length the blade. The blade tends to be narrow and quite rigid.

Butter knives are quite small and have a blunt edge as they do not need to be sharp. The blade also tends to be quite flat. These are used for spreading butter, jam and marmalade.

Cheese knives are used for cutting hard and soft cheese. The blade is usually quite narrow and flat with a curve at the end which has a forked tip.

Chefs knives are the most common knife in the kitchen and if you own no other knives this is the one you should have. Its main use is chopping, slicing and dicing. They come in various sizes the smallest being 15cm ranging up to 30cm for the more experienced cook.

A cleaver is a very broad knife with a blade of about 15cm in length. It is generally used for cutting meat, it also ideal for pounding due to its broad edge.

Filet knives have a thin flexible blade, which is about 30cm in length. This type of knife is ideal for filleting fish and removing its skin.

Mincing knives can be either single or double bladed. They are specifically designed for chopping food into very small pieces. They are a curved blade with a straight handle attaching to both ends of the blade.

Paring knives are also an essential knife to own after the chefs knife. Paring knives are quite small with a thin narrow blade, which tapers to a point. It is very versatile and can be used for peeling, chopping and coring. This is the best knife for use with small foods such as herbs.

Sandwich knives as the name implies are specially designed for cutting through bread because of their serrated blade. Not just for slicing through sandwiches, these knives can also be used for cutting pies and soft fruits.

Slicing or carving knives can vary enormously in shape and size but the most common being a rigid blade about 20m in length. The blade has a pointed tip and is specially designed for carving meat away from the bone. Often carving knives come with carving forks which are made to compliment the knife.

Electric knives can be useful too for the less experienced knife user. These work on the principle of two blades moving back and forth independently of each other. They cut through a multitude of foods from fruit, bread and meat.

Utility knives are similar to a paring knife only with a longer blade. It is used for items which are too large for a paring knife and too small for a chef’s knife.

Japanese swords are made to slash and cut, rather than thrust and bash, a battle style they used for military purposes because it was the better option when fighting on horseback.

When the time when swords were forbidden in the streets, bladesmithing became a major industry, at that time sword craftsmanship skill in Japan is of top notch. With their experience and skill,Japanese sword crafters decided to create knives of almost the same cutting ability and quality with the swords they are well known of making.

The first hand forged kitchen knife made by the Japanese blade smiths was the deba bocho in 1688, a kitchen cleaver with high cutting quality. Many types of hand forged knives followed, like the misono, gyuto, hankotsu and sujihiki, all of top notch quality.
