Kitchen Knives FAQs

What is the best type of chef’s knife?
A classic chef’s knife (usually 20cm) is the most versatile blade in any kitchen. It’s designed for chopping vegetables, herbs, and meat with ease. If you only buy one knife, start here. Or find out What Knives Do You Need In Your Kitchen.

What’s included in a chef knife set?
A typical chef knife set includes a chef’s knife, a paring knife, and a utility knife. Some sets also feature a bread knife or carving knife. Each blade serves a different purpose, giving you the right tool for every job.

How do I choose good kitchen knives?
Look for knives made from high-quality steel, with a sharp edge that holds well. Comfort matters too — the handle should feel balanced in your hand. All our cooking knives are tested by our team, so you can trust they’re both practical and durable.

What’s the difference between kitchen knives and cooking knives?
“Kitchen knives” is the broad term for all blades you use in cooking. “Cooking knives” often refers to specialist tools, like filleting, carving, or boning knives, designed for precise tasks.

How should I care for my kitchen knives?
Hand wash your knives with warm water and dry them immediately. Store them safely in a knife block, drawer insert, or magnetic rack to protect the blade. Regular honing and occasional professional sharpening will keep them in top condition. Read more at: How To Properly Store Kitchen Knives
