What Makes Asian Style Knives Unique?

Made with hundreds of years of accumulated knowledge and experience, Japanese knives contain more carbon and are known to be harder and stay sharper for longer than their European counterparts. 

Japanese Knives

Santuko means ‘three virtues,’ and this refers to the fact that this knife, with its rounded spine and straight edge, is suited for slicing vegetables, meat and fish. These knives are the ideal multi-purpose knife fit for most everyday kitchen applications.

Deba knives are similar to boning knives, so they can handle heavy cutting tasks like boning poultry, fish, meat and other game, as well as carving meat or cutting through large pieces of fish.

An Asian vegetable chopper knife is a good choice that can be used for cubing and thin slicing. Try the Furi Pro Asian Vegetable Chopper, thanks to its super sharp but wide blade, it makes light work of heavy vegetables.

Gyutou knives are the Japanese equivalent typical European chef’s knives. They are an all-purpose kitchen knife and can be used for most cutting tasks. Lightweight and thin, these are made out of a harder steel and as a result, hold a better edge. 

Chinese Knives

Similar in function to western chef’s knives, the Chinese cleaver or Chinese chef’s knife is a versatile knife that can be used for almost all kitchen duties from mincing and dicing, to chopping, slicing and julienne cuts. Although called a cleaver, it shouldn’t be classed the same as traditional butcher knives. The Chinese cleaver may be the same shape as a traditional one used in butchery, however, a butcher's cleaver is primarily designed to cut through bones without them chipping or breaking. The Chinese cleaver consists of a narrower blade design, and can be used for many additional cutting techniques. 

Which Asian Cooking Knives Should I Buy?

As with European knives, each type of knife is useful for different tasks. The Chinese cleaver is popular for its multipurpose use, however, a high level of skill is required for precision and control. Japanese knives are suitable for fine and delicate tasks; however, they do come with the downside of higher maintenance. It’s important to consider your personal cooking style and technique to determine which one best fits your needs.
