Cuchillos de cocina

Yes. Our 7" Damascus Cleaver Knife from Knives Et Cetera has a very sharp edge and a hefty weight, and it's made for slicing through all sorts of vegetables. It earns its place in a whole-foods kitchen, where you chop big batches of produce. See the 7" Damascus Cleaver Knife.

A serrated edge saws through crusty or tough outsides without crushing the soft inside, which is why it's the best tool for slicing homemade loaves. Our 9" Serrated Damascus Bread Knife also handles large fruits like cantaloupe, pineapple and watermelon. If you bake your own bread, it's the knife you'll reach for most. See the 9" Serrated Damascus Bread Knife.

Our knives come from Knives Et Cetera, and both current models have Damascus blades: a 9" serrated bread knife and a 7" cleaver. We chose them for a from-scratch kitchen, where you need a blade that handles crusty bread and one with enough weight for piles of vegetables. Find both in this collection.

A wooden board is kinder to a sharp edge than glass or stone. Our boards from Refine Kitchenware are made in Ohio from walnut, maple and cherry, and the maker describes them as knife-friendly. Their end grain butcher blocks have the wood fibers facing up, so the surface is gentle on your edge. Browse our wooden cutting boards.
