Classic French Knives are arguably the most common knives in any western kitchen due to their versatility and durability. They are great for slicing, chopping, mincing and dicing almost any food, whether it be meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds or cheese. The main difference between the Classic French and a Gyuto is the handle. It is a matter of what is comfortable in your hand. If you want it to feel like Grama’s knife, this is it.
