Why a Great Chef Knife Matters
A chef knife is the most versatile tool in your kitchen. Designed to handle a variety of tasks—slicing, dicing, chopping, mincing, and more—it replaces the need for multiple specialty blades. With a proper edge, ergonomic grip, and precision balance, the right chef knife makes prep work faster, safer, and more enjoyable.

FAQs: Chef's Knives
What size chef knife should I choose?
An 8" chef knife is the most popular and versatile option. A 6" blade offers more control for smaller hands, while a 10" knife provides added reach for large cuts and bulk prep.
Are chef knives dishwasher safe?
Most high-quality chef knives should be hand washed and dried immediately to preserve sharpness and prevent corrosion. Dishwashers can damage blades and handles over time.
What’s the difference between forged and stamped chef knives?
Forged knives are made from a single piece of steel and tend to be stronger and more balanced. Stamped knives are cut from a sheet of metal and are typically lighter and less expensive.
How often should I sharpen my chef knife?
With regular use, you should hone your knife weekly and sharpen it every 3–6 months, depending on use and blade quality.
Can I use a chef knife for cutting meat or vegetables?
Yes! Chef knives are all-purpose tools designed for everything from trimming meat and poultry to chopping vegetables and herbs.
