How to choose your knife.
Blade shape, balance and everyday cooking: practical advice from a knife shop in France.
Japanese knives for precise preparation
Japanese knives offer a wide choice of blade shapes for different kitchen tasks. A gyuto is a versatile chef knife; a santoku suits many everyday preparations; a nakiri has a straighter profile that is useful for vegetables. Choose according to how you cook and how the handle feels in your hand.
Explore Kai and Yaxell knives through the product and brand links above. Compare blade length, steel and handle specifications on the product pages. At Courty in Paris, you can also discuss your needs with the team. The Japanese knife collections are part of our selection today; 1875 is the founding year of the Courty house.
Explore Japanese knives ↗Kitchen knives that suit the way you cook
The right kitchen knife depends on the job. A paring knife handles small, precise tasks, while a chef knife brings versatility to everyday cooking. A slicing knife helps with long, clean cuts. Start with the tools you will use regularly rather than buying more pieces than you need.
Balance, weight and handle shape matter as much as appearance. Browse the kitchen knife collection on Le Monde du Couteau for the specifications, current prices and availability. When ordering from outside France, check whether your destination is served and review delivery charges and times before payment. Dispatch time is not a promise of delivery within 48 hours.
Choose a kitchen knife ↗Make a knife a personal gift
Personalised engraving can turn a kitchen knife into a memorable gift. A short name, initials or a date leaves room for the blade itself. On eligible models, the online engraving tool lets you enter your text, preview its position and check the quoted price before confirming the design.
Choose your knife first, then check the engraving options offered for that model. Product pages and checkout are provided by Le Monde du Couteau in French. For questions about your choice, personalisation or a visit to our French knife shop, contact the team using the details below.
