The Chef's Knife, also known as Tonberry's Knife, Kitchen Knife, Knife (ほうちょう, Hōchō?), or Cleaver, is a weapon of the Tonberry and a recurring ability in the Final Fantasy series. In most cases, Chef's Knife is a deadly non-elemental attack.

Final Fantasy VIII

Template:Sideicon Chef's Knife is the name of an enemy ability, a summon attack, and an item from Final Fantasy VIII.

The enemy ability and the summon work the same. The Tonberries, most commonly fought in Centra Ruins, use the attack. Tonberries will walk forward on most turns, using Everyone's Grudge as a Counter-attack. Once it has come close enough, it can use its Chef's Knife attack to deal large, non-elemental damage.

Once the Tonberry King is defeated, the player will obtain the Tonberry summon. Its attack is the Chef's Knife and it functions just as the infamous Tonberry attack does. The damage can be increased by Boost and leveling up Tonberry's stats. The attack is also accompanied by a "Doink" sound for comedic purposes.

The Chef's Knife can be stolen and dropped from the Tonberry enemy and modified from their cards. Chef's Knives will increase a character's compatibility with the summon by three and can also be made into Death spells and AP Ammo.

Final Fantasy IX

Template:Sideicon The Knife attack is a basic enemy physical attack in Final Fantasy IX used by the Goblin and the Ogre. In addition, it is an Instant Kill attack used by the Tonberry.

Final Fantasy X-2

Template:Sideicon The Chef's Knife functions the same as its Final Fantasy X incarnation and is used by both the ordinary Tonberry and the Mega Tonberry.

Final Fantasy XI

Template:Sideicon While Tonberry beastmen have a devastating short-ranged stabbing attack, called Throat Stab (急所突き, Kyuusho Tsuki?, lit. vitals stab), that reduces a player's health to 5% and resets enmity, it is (unusually) not an example of the Chef's Knife. However, there are several different items that are some form of Chef's Knife.

The quest "You Call That a Knife?", involves fetching a chef's knife for a tonberry who has lost his. The player must obtain a Tonberry Board (a chef's cutting board) and deliver it to the tonberry Chef Nonberry, gaining the key item "Nonberry's Knife" in exchange.

Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings

Template:Sideicon The Knife attack is a basic physical attack used by the Tonberry. It may inflict the Stamina Down status.

Final Fantasy XIII-2

Template:Sideicon Tonberry's knife can be acquired as an adornment for monsters. The item is called Grudge Knife and is obtained as a prize from the New Town North Terminal quiz of Brain Blast in Academia 4XX AF.
