New York’s Korin is a Japanese cutlery specialty store that has arguably the best selection in the country, and I’ve bought knives there and recommend the Togiharu brand, one of many they carry, as the best combination of excellent quality and reasonable price.
People also ask, what is a chef knife used for?
Chef’s knife
It’s a go-to for chopping and dicing vegetables, fruit, and herbs. As well as cutting a variety of other ingredients like meat, poultry, and fish. They are usually 8 to 10 inches long, and the blade rounds at the tip.
Likewise, what knife does Chef John use? A first-generation immigrant from Scotland and a line cook for over seven years, John often found himself the only white dude working in Chinese restaurant kitchens. Watching his fellow cooks using a single Chinese-style cleaver known as a cai dao for every single task, he thought, “I’m gonna learn how to do that.”
