Common Types of Kitchen Knives

When shopping for kitchen cutlery, it helps to know what type of knife suits your needs. Some possibilities include:

• Carving knife: With a smooth, wide blade and an upward curve at the tip, carving knives are perfect for thinly slicing roasts, whole turkeys, hams and other meats.
• Chef's knife: One of the most frequently used knives in a kitchen, a chef's knife has a large weighty blade that makes quick work of slicing, chopping, mincing and dicing a wide range of ingredients.
• Paring knife: A small knife with a pointed tip and thin cutting edge, a paring knife can effortlessly peel and core fruits and vegetables.
• Utility knife: This multitasking kitchen knife is like a chef's knife but smaller, making it ideal for tasks that require more precise cuts.
• Boning knife: Combining a curvy, thin blade with a straight edge, a boning knife can easily slip between meat and bone when you're butchering red meats, poultry and fish.
• Bread knife: The serrated, long blade of a bread knife can cut through sourdough, wheat, rye, white, pumpernickel and other breads without tearing them. It's also great for slicing bagels and English muffins.
• Cleaver: Equipped with a large rectangular blade, a cleaver can split large cuts of meat for at-home butchering.
• Steak knife: With their small, serrated blades, steak knives come in handy at the table for cutting steaks, chicken breasts, fish filets and other foods into bite-sized pieces.
• Kitchen scissors: Also called kitchen shears, kitchen scissors are great for snipping herbs, trimming fat and other small tasks.

Expand Your Kitchen Cutlery with a Knife Set

Like barware and food storage containers, kitchen knives are sold individually and in sets. A knife set can include more than one specific type of knife. For example, steak knife sets may provide four or more steak knives for setting the table, and a chef's knife set may give you multiple chef's knives in varying sizes. Other knife sets provide knives along with other tools. A carving knife set might include a serving fork.

If you need to replace or upgrade all your knives, look for a full kitchen knife set that contains several types of knives. Often, full knife sets also include kitchen scissors and a knife storage solution, such as a rack or block. Look for knife sharpeners to keep your new knives in top shape for longer.
