Chef Knives

The chef knife is the classic all-rounder and the main knife chef's reach for when performing many tasks in the kitchen. The chef knife is also a great starting point to building your kitchen knife arsenal.  

We offer the classic chef knife and also a kiritsuke chef knife. The differences are the top of the blade profile or shape and at the blade tip, a kiritsuke does not bend up as much to the blade tip and is more pointed.

Both styles of knives are great for rocking style cutting, slicing, dicing, and similar kitchen tasks.

Chef Supply co offer FREE SHIPPING in Australia for orders over $99 AUD and FREE SHIPPING worldwide for orders over $249 and under AUD 2kg. We also off a "love it or return" it program. See here for details.

The All-Rounder

Why Choose a Chef Knife?

A good chef knife handles 90% of what you'll ever do in the kitchen, from breaking down a whole chicken to finely dicing herbs. If you're only going to own one quality knife, this is it.

One Knife, Every Task

Chop, slice, dice, mince, rock-cut, a chef knife covers it all. It's the single most versatile tool in any kitchen, home cook or professional.

Precision & Control

The curved belly lets you rock through vegetables fast, while the flat spine gives you controlled slicing. A well-balanced chef knife reduces effort and improves consistency.

Faster Prep Time

The right knife makes prep faster, cleaner and safer. A sharp, properly weighted blade does the work for you, less pressure, fewer slips, better results.

A Long-Term Investment

A quality chef knife, properly cared for, lasts decades. Our Damascus steel blades hold their edge longer and come with a lifetime warranty, buy once, cook forever.

Buying Guide

How to Choose the Right Chef Knife

Not sure where to start? These are the six things that actually matter when choosing a chef knife, everything else is noise.

1

Pick Your Blade Length

Most home cooks are well-served by a 20–21 cm (8") blade, versatile enough for large cuts, easy to control on smaller tasks. If you cook in volume or handle large proteins regularly, go up to 25 cm. If your chopping board is small, a 20 cm blade keeps things manageable.

2

Chef Knife vs. Kiritsuke

A standard chef knife has a rounded belly, ideal for rocking cuts. A kiritsuke has a flatter edge and pointed tip, better for push-cutting and Japanese-style prep. Both handle general kitchen tasks well. If you're newer to Japanese-style knives, the kiritsuke rewards a slightly more deliberate cutting motion.

3

Understand the Steel

Our chef knives use either AUS-10 or VG-10 Damascus steel. AUS-10 (45-layer) is excellent for everyday use, sharp, durable, easy to maintain. VG-10 (67-layer) offers a harder core for a finer, longer-lasting edge and suits cooks who sharpen regularly. Both outperform standard stainless steel by a significant margin.

4

Choose a Handle You'll Actually Hold

Our resin handles are smooth, moisture-resistant and non-slip, great for busy kitchens. Wood burl handles feel warmer and more traditional. Resin-wood hybrid handles (like our Bondi Beach Series) offer the best of both. All are full-tang construction for balance and longevity.

5

Think About Your Budget

Our chef knives start from $97 (Neon Series) and go up to $189 for premium VG-10 builds. For most home cooks, the $97–$169 range delivers exceptional performance. Knife sets offer the best value per blade, our Sea Creature Kitchen Essential 3-piece saves you $115 compared to individual prices.

6

Don't Overthink It, Buy with Confidence

Every knife we sell ships with a lifetime warranty and our Love It or Return It guarantee. You're not locked in. Pick the one that looks right to you, use it, and if it's not what you expected, we'll sort it out.

Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a chef knife used for?
A chef knife is the most versatile kitchen knife you can own. It's designed to handle the majority of kitchen prep tasks, chopping vegetables, slicing meat, dicing onions, mincing garlic, breaking down herbs, and more. The curved belly makes rocking cuts easy, while the broad blade lets you scoop and transfer ingredients. Most professional and home cooks use their chef knife for 80–90% of daily prep.
What makes Damascus steel better than regular stainless steel?
Damascus steel is made by forge-welding multiple layers of steel together, then folding and hammering them to create the distinctive wave pattern. This produces a blade that is harder, holds its edge longer, and is more resistant to corrosion than most standard stainless steel knives. Our Damascus blades use either AUS-10 or VG-10 as the core steel, both significantly higher in carbon and chromium than budget stainless options. The result: a sharper, longer-lasting edge that you'll notice the first time you use it.
What's the difference between a chef knife and a kiritsuke?
The main difference is blade shape. A chef knife has a curved belly that tapers upward to the tip, making it ideal for rocking-style cuts. A kiritsuke has a flatter edge with a distinctive angled tip (the "k-tip"), which suits push-cutting and draw-slicing better. Both styles work well for general kitchen prep, it comes down to your preferred cutting technique. Most beginners find the classic chef knife more forgiving.
Are your chef knives suitable for beginners?
Absolutely. Our Neon Series chef knives (from $97) are a fantastic entry point, sharp straight out of the box, well-balanced, and easy to maintain. A sharp knife is actually safer for beginners because it requires less force and cuts more predictably. We'd suggest pairing a chef knife with a honing rod to keep the edge aligned between sharpening sessions, and a quality chopping board to protect the blade.
How do I keep my chef knife sharp?
The two most important habits: hone regularly and hand-wash only. Use a honing rod before or after each use to realign the blade edge, this alone will dramatically extend the time between sharpenings. When the knife stops responding to honing, sharpen it with a whetstone or take it to a professional. Never put your Damascus knife in a dishwasher, the heat and detergent will dull the blade and damage the handle. Store it on a magnetic knife block or in its leather sheath to protect the edge.
Do your chef knives come with a warranty?
Yes, every knife sold by Chef Supply Co comes with a limited lifetime warranty covering manufacturing defects. We also offer our "You Break It, We Fix It" lifetime replacement program. On top of that, our Love It or Return It program gives you peace of mind if the knife simply isn't right for you. Full warranty terms are available here.
What chef knife size should I buy?
For most people, a 20–21 cm (8") chef knife is the right call. It's long enough to handle large ingredients without feeling unwieldy, and short enough to maintain control for finer tasks. If you mostly cook for one or two people and work on a smaller board, a 20 cm blade is ideal. If you frequently break down large cuts of meat or batch cook, consider 22–25 cm.
Can I buy a knife as a gift?
Chef Supply Co knives make exceptional gifts, they're visually striking, genuinely useful, and arrive in premium presentation packaging. Our knife sets are particularly popular for weddings, Father's Day, birthdays, and housewarmings. For corporate gifting, we offer bulk ordering with branded packaging, visit our corporate gifting page for more details.
