Our 8.5" Chef Knives are incredibly versatile and can handle almost any task while feeling comfortable for a variety of users. The slightly shorter 7" chef knife may be preferable for those who feel more comfortable with a slightly smaller blade, when working with smaller ingredients, or for working with limited counter space. For others, working with the robust 10" chef knife and its longer blade might feel better, especially when working on large-scale cutting projects.
