Chef Knives | Professional Chef Knives

If you’re shopping for new kitchen cutlery for your foodservice or hospitality business, our selection of professional chef knives is sure to have what you need. We offer these products in one-piece forged styles, or you can choose a stamped knife that’s lighter, thinner, and less expensive than forged options. Additionally, these knives come with granton, serrated, or smooth blades to accommodate all of your food preparation needs. Read more

What is a chef knife?

A chef knife is a multipurpose food preparation tool that was originally intended for butchering large pieces of meat.

What makes a good chef knife?

When determining what makes a good chef knife, keep in mind that the best product is the one that suits your individual preferences. However, you should also consider the weight of the knife, the size you need, and the balance the knife has in your hand.

Chef knife uses?

Chef knife uses include chopping vegetables for soup, slicing fruit for pies and tarts, and cutting meat for salads and entrees once it comes off the grill.

How to correctly hold a chef’s knife?

If you’re wondering how to correctly hold a chef’s knife, there is no right answer. Most cooks prefer to grip the blade between their thumb and index finger and place their other three fingers against the finger guard. However, others (typically those without professional training) grip the handle in their whole hand.

How do you use a chef knife?

To use a chef knife, grip whatever you’re cutting with your non-knife, guiding hand. Then, use the tip of the knife as a fulcrum and rock it back and forth across whatever you’re cutting, so the knife never leaves the cutting board.
