What is your favorite kitchen knife?

I'm looking at a Wusthof Chef for Christmas.

I have the Henkels Pro S knives. I use the santuko knife more often because they are best for slicing starchy root veggies.

That said, a very close second is my Victorinox chef's with the Fibrox handle. Those are my daily drivers.

My go to is whatever is clean.

My favorite is my henckels.

I was gifted a mercer set which I've been happy with so far. They have the santoprene handles so I fear they won't last as long, but I haven't had issues yet. It's mainly my tailgate set since it's already in the roll up bag thing.

Agree with this. I find myself reaching for that one more often than not.

Dear FDB,

‘Go-to’ is hyphenated.

Sincerely,

8" wusthof classic for most things.

I have a 6" wusthof classic the wife likes, I don't care for it.

Have a vixtorinox 8" chef, blade is good, don't like how light it is. Great value though.

Watanabe Nakiri if slicing a lot of veggies. Fantastic knife, but I baby it. I don't like cleaning the carbon steel.

Wusthof Chef


I was going out with this girl who worked at William Sonoma part time.. I got her discount and it was on a deep sale.. I think I got it for $50.00.. The only complaint and it is a big one.. It doesn't hold an edge.. I have a cheap set of Wolfgang Puck in a block that I use and those hold an edge.. I also have and old Ginsu that I use to cut all kinds of stuff..LOL..

Wusthof culinar santoku 7” is probably my best all around. I love the feel of the henkels 6” pro chefs and it stays sharp af but it is not as versatile.

Decent knife skills. Better than some, not as good as others. Enjoy the hell out of the knives, though.

Ima get flack for this but I bought a Cutco set last year with their larger Santoku and that knife has performed all year long by itself with no issued. Love the weight and grip on it.

I use this for veggies.


Kiwi

This thing stays sharp for a LONG time between sharpening with just a couple swipes on a steel.

It is a very thin blade so do not use as a cleaver.

For the price, give one a try. It may surprise you.

For meat I use old Chicago Cutlery with an Old Hickory or two.

I will probably get laughed out of here but I use Members Mark santoku knives most often. I also have their boning knife. Best part is you get 2 for like $12. I sharpen them myself and they cut really well. I have a couple of dexter knives but I grab the Sam's Club knives most often.

I'm also using Sam's Wolfgang Puck santoku, great knives, many years of service. Probably not popular in these parts, but my go-to chef's knife is the Cutco.
