Which knife is right for you?
Find the right MISAKI knife faster. By use, knife shape, set choice and cutting feel.
Quick start
Which question would you like to answer first?
Most purchase decisions do not begin with a knife shape, but with a situation: a first knife, a specific task, a gift or a set.
01
I am looking for my first good knife
Start with a reliable, versatile recommendation.
02
I am looking for a knife for a specific task
Vegetables, meat, bread, everyday use or precision work.
03
Single knife or set?
Find out whether one knife is enough or a set makes more sense.
04
I am looking for a gift
Reliable recommendations with engraving, a set or a gift card.
For beginners
Start with a Santoku or chef knife.
A Santoku is compact, versatile and very comfortable for everyday use. A chef knife offers more length and power. If you want to cover two tasks from the outset, a 2-piece set is usually the better choice.
By use
Which knife for which task?
Start with the intended use. The right knife shape usually follows quite clearly.
Meat
For meat
For roasts, fillets, chicken and larger cuts.
Recommended: chef knife
Vegetables
For vegetables
For fine dice, strips, herbs and larger quantities.
Recommended: Nakiri or Santoku
Feinarbeit
Obst & feine Arbeiten
Für Schälen, Entkernen, Garnieren und kleine Zutaten.
Rüstmesser. Für Arbeiten auf dem Brett: Allzweckmesser.
Bread
For bread
For hard crusts, baguettes and soft pastries.
Recommended: bread knifeSingle knife or set
Single knife or set?
A single knife is the right choice when you want to solve a specific task. A set is worthwhile when you want to cover everyday and precision work at the same time or equip your kitchen completely.
Specific need
Single knife
The right choice when you want to solve a specific task or already have the basics.
Good start
2-piece set
A sensible choice when everyday and smaller cutting tasks should be covered from the outset.
Complete
5-piece set
For a kitchen where several cutting tasks need to be handled reliably over time.
HIKARI or AKANE
