Chef's Knife Anatomy

* The bolster is the wide part between the blade and the handle, this particular knife doesn't have one to speak of.

** The tang is part of the same piece of metal that the blade is made of, a full tang is a sign of higher quality and will run the length of the handle.

*** The heel is the thickest part of the blade at its base.
