Chef's knives can be divided into several categories:

• for peeling or slicing vegetables;
• chopping;
• santoku;
• for steaks;
• for bread (pizza);
• loin.

All of them differ from each other in the form, which is due primarily to their purpose. So, chopping and santoku stand out by the length and width of the blade, as well as weight. Usually these are products with a length of 18-20 cm and with a blade width of 2 to 5 cm.

The remaining categories are similar to each other, the differences lie in small details.

The smallest cutting tools are traditionally designed for peeling and slicing vegetables, for example, shredding cabbage. Knives for bread can be either straight or wavy, and their quality requirements for the material are not so stringent.
