Case CHEF ACCESSORIES : complete bag

The most common length for a chef's knife is 20 cm (8 inches), which is perfect for most kitchen tasks. However, the ideal choice depends on several factors: Hand size: Smaller hands handle 16–18 cm blades more comfortably, while larger hands may prefer a 21–25 cm blade. Personal habits: Those who favor broad movements and long cuts might lean toward longer knives; those who prioritize precision or work in tight spaces might prefer a shorter blade. Experience level: Beginners tend to choose shorter, more manageable blades, while professionals often prefer 21 or 24 cm knives for greater efficiency. In short, there is no “perfect” size for everyone — the right length should be chosen based on comfort, control, and intended use.

Avoid keeping them loose in drawers, where they can get damaged or become a safety hazard. It’s better to use a wooden block, magnetic strip, or blade guard. You can find the right solution in our catalog.

It’s highly discouraged. High heat and aggressive detergents can damage both blade and handle. Knives can also knock against other items, dulling the edge.

Hardness refers to how resistant the steel is, measured on the Rockwell scale (HRC). The harder the steel, the better it retains its edge—but it’s also more brittle and prone to chipping.

A set of knives already arranged in their case, often with accessories such as a honing steel, scissors, tongs, a peeler, spatulas or a thermometer; some also include chef's clothing. The contents vary from model to model and are listed on the product page: check the type and length of each blade before you buy.

A complete case is ready to use and coordinated, which helps if you're starting from scratch or want a uniform set. An empty case with knives chosen one by one is the better option if you already own part of your kit, want to mix brands or need very specific models.

Start from the equipment list provided by the school, which often specifies knife types and blade lengths, and compare it with the case contents. For school use, sturdy knives with non-slip, easy-to-wash handles are the best choice. A case with a few free slots lets you add the knives you'll need in later years.

Yes, with laser engraving on the blade of knives bought from AFcoltellerie: a name, a short text or your business logo. It helps you recognise your knives in a kitchen brigade or at school, or makes a personal gift. Add the personalisation service to your basket and write the text in the order notes, or send it to info@afcoltellerie.com; for a logo, we need a DXF file.

Only put knives away clean and completely dry, each in its own slot, and close the case securely before moving it. Don't leave it for long in damp or very hot places, such as a car in summer. When you get home, open it and check that no moisture is trapped inside.
