Differences between American, European and
Japanese Chef Knife Blades.

There are several well know companies which produce kitchen knives,
and specifically Chef Knives.

There is a big difference in the materials used and the way the blade is made.

Learn about the difference between production and types of knives.

European Chef Knife Brands:

American Chef Knife Brands:

Japanese Chef Knife Brands:

• Global

• Sakura

• Kershaw

Sakura 8" Chef Knife

The different brands were tested and sharpened and tested
again and the conclusion that most chefs have come to:

"European Chef Knives are very easy to use. They are made
of softer metals, they are lighter on the hand and are generally
very comfortable.
The only problem is that they lose their sharpness quickly."

"American Brand Chef Knives are somewhat harder to use.
They use harder metal alloys but they stay sharp for a long time."

"By far, the best chef knives are Japanese Forged Chef Knives.
They are made of very hard metal alloys, but since they are forged
and folded, that makes them very sturdy and flexible, and the best
thing is that they will keep a sharp edge for a long time."
