A cook's knife or chef's knife is a versatile, all-purpose tool designed for chopping, slicing and mincing vegetables, meats and herbs.

What size chef knife to get?

All chefs knives are multipurpose kitchen knives, the size is just a matter of preference.

Larger chef's knives like the 24cm G-16 and 27cm G-17 are more suited for larger tasks and higher volumes, perfect for professional chefs in working kitchens. 

For home use we recommend anything from the 20cm G-2 or 18cm G-55 downwards. These knives are suitable for most users, offering the best versatility for slicing, dicing and chopping.

For more intricate tasks and smaller hands, opt for smaller blades like the 16cm G-58 or 13cm GS-3.
