Among the many varieties of knives available, Japanese chef's knives stand out for their artistry, history and unrivalled performance. Among these knives, the Kiritsuke and Gyuto are two jewels of Japanese craftsmanship that deserve special attention. The Chuka-bocho, on the other hand, has its roots in Chinese cuisine and tradition, and is also a chef's knife prized by many culinary professionals. 

The Kiritsuke

The Kiritsuke knife is a true masterpiece of versatility. With its long, slender blade, it embodies the perfect harmony between the traditional Japanese chef's knife and the slicing knife. The Kiritsuke features a sharp point for precise cuts, while the straight edge guarantees a clean cut. It is capable of handling a variety of kitchen tasks, from cutting vegetables to preparing meat and fish.

In addition to its versatility, the Kiritsuke is also appreciated for its aesthetic beauty. It is often given to professional chefs in Japanese restaurants as a symbol of prestige. You can find our selection of Kiritsuke here

The Gyuto

The Gyuto

The Gyuto knife is the Japanese chef's knife par excellence. It features a thin, sharp blade and a tapered tip. The balance of the blade enables the Gyuto to adapt to a variety of kitchen tasks, from precise vegetable cutting to delicate cuts of meat. It is also excellent for finely chopping herbs and spices.

The Gyuto embodies the essence of the fusion between the traditions of Japanese cuisine and the needs of Western cooking. It is the knife of choice for many chefs preparing international dishes, as it can easily switch from Asian to Western cutting techniques, all with exceptional precision.

The Chuka-bocho: The master of Chinese cuisine

The Chuka-bocho: The master of Chinese cuisine

The Chuka-bocho knife, also known as the Chinese chef's knife, is a knife specially designed for Chinese cuisine. It features a broad, sturdy blade that can quickly chop, slice and cut a variety of ingredients. The Chuka-bocho is often used to prepare stir-fried dishes, minced vegetables and diced meats.

This knife features a blade that curves slightly towards the tip, allowing chefs to balance the blade when cutting, which is ideal for fast, continuous cuts. The Chuka-bocho is considered the main chef's knife in Chinese cuisine. You can find our selection of Chuka-Bocho here
