Choosing the Best French Chef Knife for Your Kitchen

French knives are an essential occupant of a kitchen be it a normal kitchen or the kitchen of a five star hotel. You can’t really function properly without a french knife or a chef’s knife in the kitchen. The french knife is generally 8 inches long and around 1.5 inches wide although there are others which can be as long as 14 inches. The french knife is the one which has a edge that is straight till the end and then has a curve near the tip of the blade. Modern chef knives are designed to perform various tasks in the kitchen rather than just being used for one.
