They are also particularly good on fibrous foods such as celery or cabbage.

However, they are not readily sharpened properly by a user, requiring specialized equipment, and may never be resharpened during their useful life.

A serrated knife is more practical for a user who is not prepared to sharpen it frequently; a well-maintained and sharpened smooth edge is keener.

Burns of Syracuse, New York.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> His knife had sections of grooves or serrations, inclined with respect to the axis of the blade, that form individual small cutting edges which were perpendicular to the blade and thus cut without the excessive normal pressure required of a scalloped blade and without the horizontal force required by positive-raked teeth that would dig into the bread like a wood saw. There were also sections of grooves with the opposite direction of inclination, separated by a section of smooth blade, and the knife thus cut cleanly in both directions in both hard and soft bread. </p><p>An <i>offset</i> bread knife 'doglegs' the handle above, but parallel to the blade, (rather than in-line with it, although some are angled), providing clearance for the user's knuckles. This design makes it easier for the user to cut fully through the loaf without using an awkward grip, angling and 'see-sawing' the blade, or needing to position the knife handle over the edge of the counter or cutting board. While fairly specialized and unnecessary for most kitchens (and breads), the offset design is well-suited for high-volume/'production' work where much bread - particularly e.g. crusty loaves of baguette-type bread — is cut regularly and/or over long periods, to reduce fatigue. An alternative seen mostly in Europe is a baguette "chopper" or "guillotine" — not properly a knife, and prone to produce more of a "crushing" cut depending on the bread - but serving the same function. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Butter_knife">Butter knife</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Kitchen_knife&action=edit&section=17" title="Edit section: Butter knife"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Butter_knife" title="Butter knife">Butter knife</a></div> <p><b>Butter knives</b> are small with a broad round tip and have a dull cutting edge, generally used for spreading.

Many subsequent Western and Asian copies of the Japanese <i>santoku</i> do not always incorporate these features, resulting in reduced cutting ability. Some Western <i>santoku</i>-pattern knives are even fitted with <i>kullen/kuhlen</i>, scallops on the sides of the blade above the edge, in an attempt to reduce the adhesion of foods and reduce cutting friction. A standard in Asian (especially Japanese) kitchens, the santoku and its Western copies have become very popular in recent years with chefs in Europe and North America.</p><div style="clear:both;" class=""></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Sashimi_bōchō"><span id="Sashimi_b.C5.8Dch.C5.8D"></span><i>Sashimi bōchō</i></h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Kitchen_knife&action=edit&section=35" title="Edit section: Sashimi bōchō"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Sashimi_b%C5%8Dch%C5%8D" title="Sashimi bōchō">Sashimi bōchō</a></div> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:TakoBiki.YanagiBa.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7f/TakoBiki.YanagiBa.jpg/80px-TakoBiki.YanagiBa.jpg" decoding="async" width="80" height="314" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7f/TakoBiki.YanagiBa.jpg/120px-TakoBiki.YanagiBa.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7f/TakoBiki.YanagiBa.jpg 2x" data-file-width="150" data-file-height="588" /></a><figcaption>Yanagiba (left) and Takohiki (right)</figcaption></figure> <p><i><b><a href="/wiki/Tako_hiki" class="mw-redirect" title="Tako hiki">Tako-hiki</a></b></i>, <i><b><a href="/wiki/Yanagiba" class="mw-redirect" title="Yanagiba">yanagi-ba</a></b></i>, and <i><b><a href="/wiki/Fugu_hiki" class="mw-redirect" title="Fugu hiki">fugu-hiki</a></b></i> are long thin <a href="/wiki/Knife" title="Knife">knives</a> used in the <a href="/wiki/Cuisine_of_Japan" class="mw-redirect" title="Cuisine of Japan">Japanese kitchen</a>, belonging to the group of <i><b>shobu</b></i> or <i><b><a href="/wiki/Sashimi_b%C5%8Dch%C5%8D" title="Sashimi bōchō">sashimi bōchō</a></b></i> to prepare <a href="/wiki/Sashimi" title="Sashimi">sashimi</a>, sliced raw <a href="/wiki/Fish" title="Fish">fish</a> and <a href="/wiki/Seafood" title="Seafood">seafood</a> with rice. </p><p>Similar to the <i><a href="/wiki/Nakiri_bocho" class="mw-redirect" title="Nakiri bocho">nakiri bocho</a></i>, the style differs slightly between <a href="/wiki/Tokyo" title="Tokyo">Tokyo</a> and <a href="/wiki/Osaka" title="Osaka">Osaka</a>.

"vegetable knife"), a Chinese cleaver or a "chopper", is the rectangular-bladed, all-purpose cooking knife traditionally used in <a href="/wiki/China" title="China">China</a>, <a href="/wiki/Vietnam" title="Vietnam">Vietnam</a>, <a href="/wiki/Cambodia" title="Cambodia">Cambodia</a> and many other Asian countries to prepare a variety of meats, fish and vegetables. The popularity of this style of knife has spread with the associated cuisines. They resemble Western cleavers in appearance, but most Chinese chef's knives are relatively thin-bladed and designed for slicing, finely chopping and mincing vegetables, fish and boneless meats. The heavier <i>gǔdāo</i> (<a href="/wiki/Chinese_language" title="Chinese language">Chinese</a>: <span lang="zh">骨刀</span>, lit. "bone knife") are produced and are used much like Western-type meat cleavers to prepare large sides of beef, pork and other boned meats. However, Chinese-style knives of this weight are not common in the West. </p><p>Caidao or so-called 'Chinese cleaver' is not a cleaver, and most manufacturers warn that it should not be used as a cleaver. It is more properly referred to as a Chinese chef's knife and is actually a general-purpose knife, analogous to the <a href="/wiki/Chef%27s_knife" title="Chef's knife">French chef's knife</a> or the Japanese <a href="/wiki/Santoku" title="Santoku">santoku</a>. The confusion arises from the fact that Chinese chef's knives are rectangular and that some (particularly older, traditional knives made of carbon steel) have somewhat heavy blades. Also, the fact that the blade is heavier toward the tip encourages skilled Chinese chefs to use a swinging or "tapping" stroke as well as a "pushing" stroke. However, the edge has the gradual bevel of a chef's knife and will most probably be damaged if used for splitting bone. Actual cleavers in China have the same profile as chef's knives but have much thicker blades with a sharp bevel and heavier handles. </p><p>Modern Chinese knives are sold under three general classifications throughout China: Caidao (slicers), choppers and Gudao (cleavers). The general distinction lies in the thickness of the blade. Choppers are the most common all-purpose Chinese knife. Choppers have thicker blades than slicers but are not as thick and heavy as cleavers. Choppers are used for slicing, chopping and mincing meat, vegetables and herbs. Choppers are suitable for chopping through thin soft bones such as fish and poultry. Slicers, referred to as Caidao (vegetable knives) by the Chinese have the thinnest and sharpest blades. Slicers may have the same shape as choppers or they may have less width and appear similar to Japanese <i>nakiri</i> knives. Slicers are used for cutting vegetables, mincing herbs and slicing thin strips of meat for stir frying. The thin blade makes slicers unsuitable for chopping any bones. Cleavers, which are referred to as bone choppers by the Chinese have thick heavy blades. In Chinese homes, cleavers are typically used for chopping up pork ribs or for preparing hard-shelled seafood such as lobsters. </p><p>The average Chinese home uses some variation of the rectangular-bladed knife, usually around 18 cm (7 in) and 28 cm (11 in) in length. Traditional knives had a simply-forged, carbon steel blade with a long, ground bevel, but the typical Chinese chef's knife is now a stamped blade. The traditional handle is a full-length tang that is only about 1 or 2 cm (0.4 or 0.8 in), which is passed through a metal cap, then through the center of a round, wood dowel, then bent over and hammered into the end of the handle to retain it. Newer models, particularly those made in Japan or Germany, have full-width tangs and riveted or injection-molded handles, but these handles generally retain something of the traditional, round cross-section. The wide blade of Caidao keeps the cook's fingers well off the cutting surface and the round handle gives a nice "pivot point" for the cutting stroke. The blade has a curvature or rocker along its edge that is generally uniform, improving the knife's ability to chop and mince meats and vegetables. The broad rectangular blade also serves to scoop up chopped food for transport to the wok or bowl. Although it may seem unwieldy, skilled practitioners worldwide may be observed using this style of knife for everything—even carving and fine work normally accomplished with a paring knife.<sup id="cite_ref-rights_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-rights-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Small_knives">Small knives</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Kitchen_knife&action=edit&section=40" title="Edit section: Small knives"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Peeling_or_tourné_knife"><span id="Peeling_or_tourn.C3.A9_knife"></span>Peeling or <i>tourné</i> knife</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Kitchen_knife&action=edit&section=41" title="Edit section: Peeling or tourné knife"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Victorinox.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/94/Victorinox.jpg/220px-Victorinox.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/94/Victorinox.jpg/330px-Victorinox.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/94/Victorinox.jpg/440px-Victorinox.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2095" data-file-height="1571" /></a><figcaption>A tourne knife</figcaption></figure> <p>A <b>peeling</b> or <i><b>tourné</b></i> or a <b>bird's beak knife</b> has a pointed tip that curves downward (sometimes upward) and from side to side (towards the blade), usually about 6 to 12 cm (2 to 5 in) long.
