Straight Edge Knives

The straight edge of these knives allows a smooth and clean cut. The straight edge can be used for firm and soft food like meat, vegetables, and fruit.

Common straight edge kitchen knives include chef’s knives, carving knives, pairing knives, and boning knives, among others.

All of Smith’s knife sharpeners can sharpen straight edged knives, although some are better suited for specific purpose knives. Feel free to Ask the Expert if you have a question on specific sharpeners for the job.
