A kengata chef knife is a Japanese-style kitchen knife that is used for slicing vegetables, meat and fish. Similar to the gyuto but often smaller in size, the straight blade allows for clean and precise cuts. Overall, the kengata is a smaller size chef knife ideal for anyone who is serious about cooking and wants to achieve precise and efficient cutting results without the lenght of a full size blade.
