Cleaver Knife

A question about kitchen knives: why is a Chinese cleaver good ... it seems so big ... ?

... and yet I have seen it recommended for 'little' jobs like working with garlic, herbs, dicing ...

A Chinese cleaver is a good "workhorse" of the kitchen.... good for hacking through bones and chunking up veggies for a mire poix.

A french chefs knife is another good workhorse that can also be used for smaller jobs. You can use the end closest to the handle for chopping up veggies, turn it on its side to mash garlic, use the tip for smaller slicing and dicing. There is another knife, a santoku, that is pretty awesome too. Its used for more fine cuts (when you are working on julienne, brunoise, batonnet, small and medium dice) but since its a more fine tool, you might want to set that aside when you have a chicken or fish to fabricate.

A boning knife is used for boning (hehe). Well, more precisely it is good for filleting fish since most of the time they are very thin and pretty flexible, which helps contour to strange shapes.

A meat cleaver is pretty much the same thing as a chinese cleaver.

If you have money for it, these are all wonderful knives for a culinarian to possess. But if you are on a budget, as most of us are, then a good quality french chefs knife is all that you really need. My set as a student (which I purchased on my own) was a honing steel, a french chefs knife (which is probably what I use the most) a flexible boning knife and a paring knife.
