Here's an overview of the differences between various types of Japanese knives:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChef Knife (Gyuto)\u003c\/strong\u003e: Similar to Western chef's knives, the gyuto is a versatile kitchen knife that can perform a wide range of tasks. It typically has a longer blade ranging from 210mm to 360mm, allowing for efficient slicing, dicing, and chopping. The blade is thinner and sharper than many Western chef’s knives, designed for precise cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSantoku\u003c\/strong\u003e: This knife’s name means \"three virtues\" or \"three uses,\" highlighting its proficiency in slicing, dicing, and mincing. Santoku knives usually have a blade length of 130mm to 180mm. The blade has a flatter edge and a sheepsfoot blade that curves in an angle approaching 60 degrees at the point, which is suited for a downward chopping motion rather than rocking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePetty Knife\u003c\/strong\u003e: This is a smaller utility knife typically used for precise tasks like peeling, shaping, and slicing small fruits and vegetables. Blade lengths range from 120mm to 180mm. It's akin to a smaller version of the chef knife and is perfect for tasks that require more control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUtility Knife\u003c\/strong\u003e: In Japanese knife terms, this often refers to a knife larger than a petty but smaller than a chef’s knife. It is versatile for medium-sized tasks and can handle jobs too small for a chef's knife and too big for a petty knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNakiri\u003c\/strong\u003e: This knife is designed specifically for cutting vegetables. It features a straight blade perfect for cutting all the way to the cutting board without the need for pulling or pushing. The nakiri has a double bevel edge and is usually about 165mm in length, making it excellent for precise vegetable work with its straight, thin blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSashimi Knife (Yanagiba)\u003c\/strong\u003e: This is a long, slender knife designed specifically for slicing raw fish and seafood for sashimi and sushi. The blade typically ranges from 210mm to 360mm, allowing for a pull-cutting motion which helps in getting clean, precise cuts without applying pressure on the fish, ensuring perfect texture and presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2021-02-15T14:13:06+11:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"type","relation":"equals","condition":"Knives"},{"column":"type","relation":"equals","condition":"Knife Accessories"},{"column":"type","relation":"equals","condition":"Scissors"}],"published_scope":"global","image":{"created_at":"2024-03-07T18:55:44+11:00","alt":null,"width":1300,"height":500,"src":"\/\/minimaru.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/Website_Collection_Banners_1300x500_-6.jpg?v=1709798145"}},{"id":409757286639,"handle":"kai","title":"Kai","updated_at":"2024-08-03T13:05:00+10:00","body_html":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKaijirushi, commonly known as Kai, is a renowned Japanese company known for its high-quality cutlery and beauty care products.
