Specialty & fish knives

8 products

A boning knife, a fillet knife, a santoku knife, sushi and fish blades, a cleaver knife. Each exists because a chef's knife does that particular job badly — and a kitchen breaking down its own carcasses saves more on yield than the whole set costs.

Frequently asked questions

When do I need a specialty knife?

For cuts a chef's knife handles poorly — boning and fillet blades for breaking down protein, yanagiba and seafood knives for fish, cleavers and heavy forged blades for bone and rind.

What's the difference between a boning and a fillet knife?

Boning blades are stiffer for separating meat from bone; fillet blades flex to follow skin and frame when filleting fish.

Are these suited to professional use?

Yes — this shelf is built for daily kitchen work, from rosewood-handled fillet knives to a forged butcher knife for heavy breaking; tell us your cuts and we'll match the blades.

Which knives does a professional kitchen actually need?

Most restaurant knives in daily use come down to four: a chef's knife, a boning knife, a serrated one for bread, and a santoku for fast vegetable work. The rest are bought for a specific job — filleting, breaking down carcasses, portioning sashimi.

Are these different from domestic knives?

Commercial kitchen knives are built for sharpening, not for looks: full tang, a handle that survives a dishwasher, and steel soft enough to bring back on a stone in thirty seconds between services.
