Popular Knife Types

New to Japanese knives? Start here. This collection brings together the knife types our customers choose most: the gyuto chef knife, the santoku all-rounder, the nakiri vegetable knife, the petty utility knife and the sujihiki slicer.

Most home cooks build a kit around one chef knife (a gyuto or santoku) and one small knife (a petty), then add a nakiri or sujihiki to suit how they cook. Every shape here is offered in a range of steels and handles, from easy-care stainless to traditional high-carbon steel.
