Kitchen knives come in all shapes and sizes. Each knife is designed for a specific purpose or product. Here are some essential knives that are indispensable in your kitchen.

### Chef's knives

From chopping vegetables, to cutting the perfect julienne strips or slicing meat, [chef's knives](kato://content/migrated_pageid_822) are by far the most indispensable kind of kitchen knife. In the professional kitchen, the chef's knife is also the most frequently used knife.

### Bread knives

[Bread knives](kato://content/migrated_pageid_231) are perfect to cut bread, bagels and other baked goods. But did you know that they're also great to cut larger vegetables and fruit, such as pumpkins or melons? By making a sawing motion with your bread knife you'll have a lot of control over the knife.

### Utility knives

As the name suggests, a utility knife is an all-purpose knife that you can use for almost anything. You can use it as a small chef's knife or as a large peeling knife.

### Carving knives

Carving knives are specifically designed for cutting raw and cooked meat. Thanks to the low blade height, and often long blade length, you cut slices from large pieces of meat in one move. You won't have to make too many sawing motions, which prevents the meat from tearing. Cutting slices off a brisket or a leg of ham is child's play with these knives.

### Peeling knives

Peeling knives are knives you use every day. Vegetables, fruit: you'll be able to quickly and effortlessly peel them all. Experience the joy of using a high-quality potato peeler for yourself.

### Knife set

An inexpensive way to purchase all the essential kitchen knives at once is to buy a [knife set](kato://content/migrated_pageid_161). You will have a nice collection of knives that match and complement each other for all your culinary adventures.

### Knife block

Choosing the right way to store your knives is just as important as choosing the right kitchen knives. With a [knife block](kato://category/knifeblockproduct) you safely store your knives, so you don't hurt yourself and the knives don't get damaged.

## Types of steel for kitchen knives
