Chef's knife – one of the most frequently chosen kitchen knives by both professional chefs and cooking enthusiasts. Originating from French cuisine, the characteristic knife shape is used for many kitchen tasks, and the name "chef's knife" emphasizes that it is an indispensable tool for every cook. The knife is very light, and the handle fits securely in both small and large hands. Thanks to the perfect balance of the blade and handle, it allows for a rhythmic, highly effective, rocking motion on the surface when slicing or dicing various products.

Santoku is a traditional Japanese knife, often referred to as the equivalent of a Western chef's knife. The Japanese name for this very popular knife means "three virtues" or "three good things".
