## How to choose the best kitchen knife


Some kitchen knives can be used for multiple purposes. Examples are chef's knives and santoku's. These are all-round knives that can be used for most tasks in the kitchen. [Bread knives](/en/ct/bread-knives.htm) are, obviously, great when cutting hard and soft types of bread. But did you know you can also use them to cut hard vegetables and fruit? Each chef's, santoku or bread knife should be accompanied by a good [carving knife](/en/ct/carving-knives.htm) and a razor-sharp [peeling knife](/en/ct/peeling-knives.htm).


## Specialized kitchen knives


Yanagiba, [nakiri](/en/ct/nakiri-knives.htm), bunka, Chai Dao and gyuto. Names you probably haven't seen that often. These are all specific kitchen knives that each have their own task. One is great when cutting vegetables while you use the other for sashimi. But also [oyster knives](/en/ct/oyster-knives.htm), [boning knives](/en/ct/boning-knives.htm) and [cleavers](/en/ct/cleavers.htm) have one specific purpose. As such you need to think about which knife will leave you with the best results.
