A boning knife is used to remove bones from cuts of meat. They have a thin, flexible blade, usually about 5 or 6 inches long, that allows them to get in to small spaces. A stiff boning knife is good for beef and pork, but a flexible boning knife is preferred for poultry and fish.
|
Bread knives are a type of serrated knife, though unlike other serrated knives they are often simply called a Serrated Knife. Bread knives are usually between 6 and 10 inches, with 8 inches being a common length. The serrations on the blade make it ideal for cutting bread (and other foods with hard/soft composition).
|
A carving knife is a large knife (between 8 and 15 inches) that is used to slice thin cuts of meat, including poultry, roasts, hams, and other large cooked meats. A carving knife is much thinner than a chef's knife (particularly at the spine), enabling it to carve thinner, more precise slices. They are generally shorter and wider than slicing knives.
|
Hard cheese knives are specially designed for slicing hard cheese. They are sharp, so they can cut exact slices, and often have a forked tip, allowing them to be used as a serving utensil as well.
|
In cooking, a chef's knife, also known as a French knife, is a cutting tool used in food preparation. The chef's knife is an evolution of the butcher knife, and was originally designed primarily to slice and disjoint large cuts of beef. Today it is the primary general-utility knife for most Western cooks.
|
A meat cleaver is a large, rectangular knife that is used in cutting meat. The blade, approximately 6 inches long, is very heavy, with a thick spine, enabling the knife to chop through bone and joints with relative ease. Many cleavers have a hole in the end to allow them to be easily stored on a rack. Cleavers are an essential tool for any restaurant that prepares its own meat.
|
A fillet knife is like a very flexible boning knife that is used to fillet and prepare fish. They have a blade that is about 6 to 11 inches long, allowing them to move easily along the backbone and under the skin of fish.

Global Knives revolutionized the design of fine cutlery with the stainless steel handle and blade. The three piece construction, blade and two handle halves, are welded or forged (depending on the model), for a seamless, hygienic, and uniquely balanced instrument.
Global Knives are made from the finest stainless steel material. The blades utilize Molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel, Ice tempered and hardened to Rockwell C56º–58º which holds a razor sharp edge longer than any other steel and resists rust, stains and corrosion.
Like the Samurai swords before them, each knife is carefully weighted to ensure perfect balance in the hand. To obtain its super sharp edge, Global sharpens the face of the edge straight to a point rather than just beveling the tip as competing brands do.

Founded in 1974 by Pete Kershaw, Kershaw-Shun has earned a reputation for quality, design and beauty. Many items are presented in a handsome bamboo presentation gift box. And, they’re manufactured in the United States, in Tualatin, Oregon.
The forged steel blade is VG-10 clad with 16 layers of SUS410 high-carbon stainless steel on each side to produce a rust-free Damascus-look blade. The incredibly sharp edge not only holds longer with the VG-10, but is also easier to maintain. Not only beautiful, the Damascus design also reduces food’s ability to stick to the blade.
The Kershaw Shun Classic “D” shape Pakkawood (resin impregnated hardwood) handle along with the offset stainless steel bolster provide both ergonomic function and beauty. Each piece is presented in a handsome, presentation gift box.

A paring knife is a small knife with a plain edge blade that is ideal for peeling and other small or intricate work (such as de-veining a shrimp, removing the seeds from a jalapeño, or cutting small garnishes). It is designed to be an all-purpose knife, similar to a chef's knife, except smaller. Paring knives are usually between 2½ and 4 inches, as anything larger than about 4 or 5 inches is typically considered a utility knife, though the distinction is somewhat vague.

Santoku in Japanese translates as "three virtues" because of its cutting edge for meat, fish and vegetables. In your kitchen, it means you will have a new favorite knife that chops, minces, dices and slices with incredible ease and precision.
The Santoku with a Granton Edge enhances the ample depth of a cook's knives and super sharp blades with "kullens" or alternating hollow ground ovals in the blade. The kullens reduce friction when cutting and create air pockets so moist foods slide away from the blade. The result is a knife that glides effortless as you cut and foods do not stick to the blade.
The same technology has been used on carving and ham knives with Granton Edges. Both the Santoku and Granton blades have been embraced by our finest knife manufacturers. Excalibur Cutlery offers a selection of fine Santoku and Granton Edge knives for your own kitchen or as outstanding gifts.

A slicing knife serves a similar function to a carving knife, although it is generally longer and narrower. Slicers may have plain or serrated edges. Such knives often incorporate blunted or rounded tips, and feature kullenschiff or granton edge (scalloped blades) to improve meat separation. Slicers are designed to precisely cut smaller and thinner slices of meat, and are normally more flexible in order to accomplish this task. As such, many cooks find them better suited to slicing ham, fish, or barbecued beef and pork.
