Japanese Kitchen Knives

The Chisel Grind: The chisel ground knife is a grind most commonly seen in Japanese kitchen knives. This type of grind produces a half "V" when viewed from the tip of the knife. Depending on whether you are right or left handed this type of knife grind is only ground on one side. Many people feel that this type of grind is the sharpest of all the grinds. In my opinion the jury is out on that one. This type of grind will only cut in one way, being either right or left and this of course is dependent on what side of the knife is ground. For most American kitchens this is not the typical grind of knife that you will see. It is however growing in popularity and deserves a look.
