Choose your blade: The Petty — Compact precision knife for small, detailed work. Peeling, deboning, trimming, garnishing. The one you reach for when the gyuto is too much. The Kiritsuke — The chef's blade with a samurai edge. Reverse-tanto k-tip for precision tip work, long flat belly for clean push cuts. Traditionally reserved for the head chef. The Gyuto — The 8" workhorse. Slices proteins, rocks through herbs, handles every vegetable on the board. The one knife that does almost everything well. Show more
