Specialty Kitchen Knives & Sharpeners

Because the right knife for the job is essential for safety and ease, our specialty kitchen knife collection features a range of options that are purpose-built for the task at hand. For preparing meat and poultry like a pro (or tackling things like butternut squash), a cleaver might be the answer. Of course, to slice and trim meat from the bone, you'll want to trade your cleaver for a boning knife, filet knife, or carving knife, depending on your menu. If, however, you're making a vegetable-rich dish, a nakiri knife, with its wide, point-free blade and nearly flat edge, excels at chopping, slicing, and dicing vegetables and greens—and makes quick work of mincing herbs. And for the cheese course (or just making your favorite grilled cheese sandwich), look to our specialty kitchen knife collection for cheese knives and sets to help you slice your way through hard cheeses, soft cheeses, and everything in between.
