The Chef's Knife
In all the slicing, chopping, and mincing, the chef's knife is a sizeable design that makes things easy. It has a broad blade that curves upwards. If it is a well-designed knife, it will feel easier on your hands, facilitating faster back and forth motions when chopping meats and veggies.

When choosing a sharpener for their knives, great chefs think about the chef knife first. If it works well for the chef knife, it will probably work well for your other knives.
An ideal knife sharpener should have the ability to grind and reduce the knives' edge angle, regardless of whether they are forged or stamped.

The Utility Knife
When it's time to chop onions, fruits, and other small food items, what you will need for the job is a utility knife. It is a tad smaller than the chef's knife. Its size is about 4 inches.
You cannot use the utility knife for chopping or cutting large items. Its narrow kerf and small tip make it an excellent knife for trimming and slicing.
