Yes, it is more of a general purpose knife that we use for the majority of jobs. For other jobs such as filleting fish we obviously have the filleting knife, for meats we have the boning knife, for small jobs we have the paring knife and so on and so forth.

Hi! I just had some posters screen printed for my art show. I think I’ll have some extra afterwards, and I’m planning on putting them for sale on Etsy!
This is such a cool post, my friend is a cook and I know he’ll love this. I’m going to pass it on. You’re original because you don’t use photography to explain your steps; I love it!
Keep it up 🙂
I love the illustrations, they’re brilliant. Congrats on Freshly Pressed! I didn’t know you were supposed to hold a chef’s knife with the thumb on top, learn something new every day 🙂
I sometimes write about culinary stuff (art). I like the simple approach. I dislike the snobbishness of many culinary sites and their style of writing. I contend the best foods in the world are peasant foods; food for the common folk.This is well done.
Beautiful illustrations! I love them…….. great guide, easy to follow and quirky. Where did you learn to draw like that? After 5 years of studying art I still can’t draw anything I am happy with- would love to know your secret?
Hello! I came to this style after a lot of experimenting. I did a lot of figure drawing in school and it really helped with drawing hands and the like.
My work took me down a more conceptual route, my experimenting lead me to deconstruct the ‘object’ which eventually lead to the complete destruction of any physical representation of the ‘concept’. I did however love life drawing. I am in great admiration of your skills and ability. Look forward to future posts.

This past Friday I went to Chef Ryan Terry’s cooking class at FloCafe &Catring in Elmira, Ontario. His passion for local foods from the farms around and his ability to make everything from scratch is very inspiring (more on that on a later post). At the class we talked about knife skills, so when I came across this post, I was impressed and had to share! Hope you like it!!

I don’t really reblog. It seems a lot easier though. I thought this was cool to share since my site is all about food.
My brother just finished a 10 weeks culinary arts program and knife use was the first lesson. He said he had no idea how little he knew about cooking for the public. Thanks for the great info! Every cook can use more know how!
Great drawing technique! It wants to be a poster. Plus, it’s a beautiful answer to one of those questions a long-time-but-not-much-anymore cook doesn’t want to ask.
Your illustrations are fantastic! In fact, they remind me of the Calvin and Hobbs cartoons I used to love so much. Great blogging. In fact, I think your method of blogging is fascinating. Keep up the great work.
Nice. I never knew there were conventions on the name and sizes of cuts. Usually I just cut in whichever size and shape that goes with my hunger level. 😀
ooooooooooh, so great!!!!!! I LOVE your illustrations! Have you considered making posters? I have been looking for some kitchen art, and this would make great & functional art!!
Love this. I’m one of those unfortunate souls who has never learned to properly cut an onion and when doing so, I start off with full intention of holding a knife properly when in the end, I’m weilding a sharp weapon willy-nilly with my eyes squinted shut in hopes of cutting into edible sized pieces and being able to see again once the brutal onion cry is over.
I’ll try using your technique next time and see how far I get.

I’ll try your holding technique next time and see how far I get.
[…] welcome back to the wood street aquarium looking out onto a cool, damp Munich afternoon…….. it has been quite a while since the go-log-blog-word-squeunch thing has been active and design apartment is searching for its own new wordpress look to follow in a million other typesets and footsteps.

This is so cool. I didn’t know any of the actual terminology. Thanks for sharing.
I really like how you have explained the details about a knife. So tell me more, what is exactly a Chef’s knife? Is it kind of an all purpose knife?
Yes, it is more of a general purpose knife that we use for the majority of jobs. For other jobs such as filleting fish we obviously have the filleting knife, for meats we have the boning knife, for small jobs we have the paring knife and so on and so forth.
Very nicr tutorial! Congratulations! Parabéns, gostei muito.

Nicely done! Your illustrations are great. Congratulations on being Freshly Pressed!
