Types of chef knives for professional kitchens ▾

Chef’s knife and cook’s knife ▾

The all rounder for most prep jobs, chopping herbs, slicing veg, portioning proteins and general kitchen work.

Paring and vegetable knives ▾

Ideal for peeling, trimming, coring and fine work where control matters. Great for garnish and detailed prep.

Boning knives and butchery knives ▾

Designed for trimming fat, working around bones and breaking down meat. Choose stiff blades for control or flexible blades for finesse.

Fillet and fish knives ▾

Flexible blades for clean skinning and filleting, useful for precise cuts with minimal waste.

Bread and serrated knives ▾

Serrations slice crusty loaves and soft bread cleanly. Also great for tomatoes and delicate foods with skins.

Carving knives, slicers and cleavers ▾

Choose carving and slicing knives for roasts and portion control. Cleavers suit heavy duty chopping and tougher cuts.

How to choose the right chef knife ▾

Blade length and comfort ▾

Most chefs prefer a knife that feels balanced and comfortable in hand. Shorter blades offer control and precision, longer blades offer speed for volume prep.

Handle style and grip ▾

For wet environments, choose handles that offer grip and comfort. Many commercial kitchens prefer easy clean handles for quick hygiene routines.

Colour coded knives for HACCP ▾

Colour coded knives help reduce cross contamination by assigning colours for meat, fish, veg and prepared foods, ideal for compliant prep systems.

Knife sets and starter kits ▾

Knife sets are a cost effective way to equip a new kitchen or add matching tools. Pair with a wallet, rack or safe storage to protect edges.

Knife care, storage and sharpening ▾

Sharpeners and steels ▾

Keep knives working like new with sharpening tools. Use a steel regularly to maintain the edge between full sharpening sessions.

Knife storage and protection ▾

Protect your knives with wallets, blade guards, magnetic racks and safe storage systems. Proper storage reduces chips and keeps edges sharper for longer.

Cleaning and daily handling ▾

Clean and dry knives promptly after service and avoid leaving blades soaking. Good habits extend blade life and support kitchen hygiene routines.

Chef knives FAQ ▾

What is the best chef knife for a commercial kitchen ▾

Most kitchens start with a chef’s knife or cook’s knife as the main prep tool, then add paring and bread knives. Add boning or fillet knives for meat and fish prep.

Do I need a knife sharpener or a honing steel ▾

Both help. Use a honing steel frequently to keep the edge aligned, and sharpen when cutting performance drops for best results.

Are colour coded knives worth it ▾

Yes, colour coded knives support cross contamination control by assigning colours to food groups. Great for busy prep teams and HACCP systems.

Is it better to buy a knife set or individual knives ▾

Knife sets are great value for new kitchens and consistent tools. Individual knives are best if you want to tailor your kit to specific prep tasks.
