01The one knife most kitchens actually need · 82 pieces
Eighty-two pieces carrying a chef blade, from a six-inch everyday knife to a twelve-inch slicer, singly and in boxes.
A chef knife is bought once and used every day, so the two figures that decide it are on every card here: the blade length and the steel. Eight inches is the size that covers a household board. Seven suits a smaller hand and a smaller board. The eleven and twelve inch blades on this page are slicers meant for brisket and roasts and are frustrating on an onion. Below six inches you are not buying a chef knife at all, you are buying a utility blade with a chef knife name on the box.
Seven different steels turn up across this page, which is unusual for one query and worth knowing before you sort by price. A VG-10 core and a Damascus blade sit at the top and are built for a keen edge on vegetables and fish. ATS-34 and the plain high carbon blades sit in the middle and are ground heavier, for a knife that meets bone occasionally. Stainless sits at the bottom and asks least of you. Twenty-eight of the eighty-two arrive as part of a set, and those cards print what each knife in the box works out at.
9 blade lengths, each one a link to the card that carries it.
9 handle colours, named from our own product data rather than read off a photograph.

03Asked before ordering
What people ask us about chef knives before they pick one.
Measure your board first. A blade longer than about two thirds of the board has nowhere to travel and you end up cutting at an angle. Twelve inches of board suits a seven-inch blade. Eight and nine inches want fifteen inches or more behind them.
No, and neither is anybody else’s. A chef blade is ground thin behind the edge so it parts food, and thin edges chip on bone. If bone comes up most weeks, the cleaver and Serbian shelves are where that job belongs, and the chef knife stays for everything else.
If you dry your knives: high carbon or a VG-10 core, both of which take a keener edge and hold it longer. If knives get left in the rack overnight: plain stainless, and no regrets about it. The card names the steel wherever our product data does.
One button, the whole Huusk range
Every blade length, steel and piece count in the Huusk catalogue sits behind this button, with the current price beside it. Pick the job, check the blade against the board you own, and it ships from our retail partner.
