What are the 4 most commonly used kitchen knives?

The 4 types of essential kitchen knives are:

1. Chef's/Santoku knife: The most versatile and commonly used knife in the kitchen, with a broad blade that can be used for chopping, slicing, and dicing tasks. The difference between a chef's and Santoku knife is that a Santoku has a slightly shorter blade, for better control and precision.
2. Paring knife: A smaller, more manoeuvrable knife used for peeling and other small cutting tasks, such as removing seeds or trimming vegetables.
3. Bread knife: This knife has a serrated blade that is perfect for cutting through bread and other baked goods without squishing or tearing them.
4. Carving knife: A long, slender knife specifically designed for slicing thin, precise cuts of meat, poultry, and other large cooked proteins. The thin, narrow blade allows for smooth, clean cuts, while the pointed tip helps in navigating around joints or bones.

Cuisinart offers all of the above styles of knives and more - including utility knives, cleavers, vegetable knives, boning knives, as well as knife sharpening tools. For even more detail on the best types of cooking and food prep knives, read our kitchen knife buying guide.
