Pastry chef here, this is my normal kit

From top to bottom;
Tojiro bread knife (use rarely)
Fujiwara FKM 270 - use occasionally
Birds beak parer - use occasionally
Richmond SKD parer - use occasionally
Konosuke Swedish Stainless 270 - use daily
Shibata Battleship 190 - use daily

Some of these get swapped out from time to time and I usually have a couple more in the bag in case I feel like switching it up.

I am enjoying seeing what you pro’s use and hope this thread catches on.

Thank you for saying you are a pastry chef. It helps to know what kind of chef uses the knives in their work.

I like seeing what you guys use at work professionally too. Hope to see several more posts here.

I’ll try to get a picture of “the drawer” when I can…

12 inch Vic scimitar
270 tojiro itk bread knife
270 Aebl artifex suji
10 inch f. Dick breaking knife
250 52100 Sab artifex
240 Richmond kurosaki laser
210 kohetsu blue 2 western
8inch wusthof ikon
8 inch wusthof flexible slicer
7 inch Kershaw filet
7 inch unnamed carbon pointy bullnose? From thrift store
175 Chinese mystery meat cleaver nicknamed “the shrubbery”
6 inch f. Dick stiff offset boning
6 inch Dexter carbon narrow boning
Multiple 6 inch rapala filet
150 aebl artifex petty
150 kanehide honesuki
5 inch unnamed carbon boning knife from thrift store
80 Mac Pro paring
Idahone ceramic
Wusthof beehive traditional honing
Atoma 140, shapton pro 320, green brick, cow strop

Only rules for the drawer is as long as you keep shit clean and it comes back not broken feel free to use whatever

In my roll as my don’t touch work knives I’ll keep a ogata 240, srs15 210, and a moritaka 180 nakiri and then I’ll just fill out of the roll whatever needs to be sharpened.

Most used in the drawer are probably the 270 bread, 6 inch dick,8 inch slicer and 270 suji, every knife sees use and has a purpose… except maybe the thrift store carbons, both kinda suck but I’ve spent 3 dollars in worse ways.
