Hospitality Connect lists 1,672 knives for commercial kitchens, butchers and caterers, covering cooks knives, paring knives, boning knives, general kitchen knives and knife sets, with brands including Victorinox, Dexter Russell and Global.
Choose by the cut, then by the handle. A cook's knife is the general-purpose blade for chopping and portioning, and blade length is set by hand size and board space. A paring knife is short and used off the board for peeling and detail work. A boning knife has a narrow, often flexible blade to work around bone and joints, which is why butchers and chefs breaking down protein buy them separately. Handle material decides grip when wet, and a knife set is the practical way to cover several shapes at once.
