Frequently Asked Questions

If you choose only one knife to use, it would be a chef's knife. Usually around 8 inches long, with a tall blade, chef knives are the jack-of-all-trades of the kitchen. Use them for slicing veggies, chopping cuts of beef, and everything in between. Santoku knives share a similar utility, but replace the curved blade of the chef's knife with a straight edge.
