Know Your Knives is a simple infographic that lays out a number of different chef knives with explanations on exactly what each one is used for.

There are 12 different chef knives listed, alongside a nice breakdown of the common materials used for blades: stainless steel, carbon steel, titanium and damascus steel.

There’s also a quick explanation on straight, serrated and granton blade edges.

If you’re looking to sharpen your chef knife knowledge, this is a good starting point.
