• „Chef“ is one of the most frequently chosen kitchen knives by both professional chefs and amateurs. The characteristic knife shape, originating from French cuisine, 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. The perfect balance of the blade and handle allows for a rhythmic, highly effective, rocking motion on the surface when slicing or dicing various products.
• Utility with a 150 mm blade is a versatile knife, which is a smaller version of the chef's knife. Due to its universal use, it is suitable wherever a chef's knife is too large, making it an indispensable element of kitchen equipment.
• Santoku is a traditional Japanese knife, often referred to as the equivalent of the Western chef's knife. The Japanese name for this very popular knife means "three virtues" or "three good things." This means that this knife, resembling a combination of a chef's knife and a cleaver in appearance, is very suitable for slicing, dicing, and chopping.
• Bread with a 210 mm long serrated blade is designed for slicing bread. It easily handles hard bread crust and soft interior, providing aesthetic slices with minimal crumbs. Some chefs use this knife to cut chocolate, tomatoes, or citrus fruits.
• The set also includes a Paring 90mm knife. Paring, more precisely – a peeler – is a knife designed for peeling and processing small products such as fruits and vegetables. The sharp tip allows for easy maneuvering, and the small size allows for comfortable peeling in hand or cutting small products on a board. Due to its universal use, it is an indispensable element of kitchen equipment.
