Chef's knife: the kitchen essential
Why buy a chef's knife? Quite simply, because it's the cook's knife for every occasion! In fact, the chef's knife is the most versatile of all knives, thanks to its particular shape and size. Its blade has a slight rocker along its entire length, allowing you to move back and forth easily when cutting. Its blade oscillates between 15 and 25cm, depending on your use and comfort. In short, you can chop, slice or mince your food! As you can see, it can be used in a variety of contexts, for example to brunoise your vegetables, or slice your chicken fillets...
How do I choose my chef's knife?
Once you've understood the importance of buying a chef's knife, it's time to choose one! This is no easy task, with all the chef's knives available on the cutlery market. It's also worth noting that Japanese brands such as KAI offer their own version of chef's knives, to suit Western cuts (its Japanese counterpart is the santoku knife). So you can also choose more Japanese designs.
The standard size of a chef's knife is around 18cm, to be as handy as possible (it's true that the 25cm is starting to look rather imposing!). You can then choose a forged chef's knife, a knife with a riveted handle, a wooden handle, a polymer handle... It all depends on your sanitary needs and your affinity with a particular design!
Here's a tip: for even more complete equipment, don't hesitate to buy a Chef + Paring knife Chef + Paring set, or one with a sharpener! The KnifeLeader team has put together a great selection for you!
