Chef knife: The Chef's knife is a versatile tool characterized by a long, sharp blade and a fine point, allowing for precise and efficient cuts. It is an ideal knife for slicing, chopping, and mincing all types of food.

Carving Knife: The slicing knife is specifically designed to cut thin slices of meat, poultry, or fish. Its long and narrow blade allows it to glide easily through food, making precise cuts without tearing.

Nakiri knife: The Nakiri knife is specialized for cutting vegetables. Its straight, rectangular blade offers a large cutting surface, making it ideal for chopping, slicing, and mincing precisely. It can also be used as a spatula knife to transfer vegetables to a dish.

Utility knife: The utility knife is versatile. It is designed to perform various tasks in the kitchen. Its size, which is between that of a chef’s knife and a paring knife, makes it perfect for medium-sized cutting tasks, such as slicing fruits, vegetables, cheese, peeling, or cutting food into small pieces.

Boning knife: The boning knife is specifically designed to remove meat from bones with precision. Its stiff and narrow blade allows it to follow the contour of the bones, reducing meat waste.

Paring knife: The paring knife is ideal for precision tasks thanks to its small size and short, pointed blade. It is perfect for peeling and cutting fruits and vegetables, as well as for making delicate cuts. Versatile and easy to handle, the paring knife is often used for detailed work that requires great precision. Whether removing seeds from fruit, hollowing out tomatoes, or chopping herbs, this knife is an indispensable companion for both amateur and professional chefs.

Knife Maintenance
  • Never put knives in a dishwasher.
  • Hand wash knives and thoroughly dry the blade with a soft, dry cloth to maintain the blade's sharpness and quality.
  • Clean the blades with soapy water.
  • If the knives have wooden handles, dry them thoroughly before storing them.
  • Knives do not stay sharp forever, regardless of the blade; it is therefore recommended to sharpen them as soon as the edge becomes less sharp.
  • Do not use the knife's edge to push food on the cutting board. Prefer using the back of the blade instead.
  • Never use the abrasive side of sponges to clean the blades.
  • Cut food on a wooden cutting board to avoid damaging the knife blade.
  • Do not cut food in a pan or baking dish to prevent damaging the knife blade.
