A French knife is more popularly known as a chef’s knife. It is found in nearly every professional kitchen. It is a versatile knife that can be used for a variety of cutting tasks.
French knives have a wide blade that tapers to a point making them suitable for chopping, mincing, and slicing. They typically measure 8 to 12 inches, although they can come in different sizes. The French knife is larger than utility and paring knives, but is smaller than a carving or bread knife.
