Arm yourself with the best of the best in the kitchen.
as if it were as soft as a blob of Jell-O and making paper-thin slices of smoked salmon as if the knife were a true slicer. It's not a knife for beginners, though: Given its asymmetrical edge and difficult-to-sharpen steel, it takes skill and dedication to maintain the edge.Even lighter in weight than its more expensive sibling, the UX10, theoffers an incredibly agile experience, with an especially sharp out-of-the-box blade. It handled all our testing tasks with ease.
A knife should feel"balanced" as well, though that term is hard to define in any absolute sense. It's not so literal as to mean that the handle and blade should perfectly balance each other when set on a fulcrum right where they meet.
The"chef's" knife, as a shape, is originally a Western one. The most famous are German-style chef's knives, which have thicker, heavier blades that curve up significantly toward the tip. This makes for a knife that's better suited to a rocking-chop motion, such as when you rock the blade back and forth over a pile ofto mince them.
Around the middle of the 20th century, Japanese knife makers began making knives that were more Western in style, including a chef's knife known as a. These are the Japanese chef's knives I'm including in this review. Gyutou and other Japanese knives are generally made with harder steel, which can hold an edge longer but can also be more difficult to sharpen.
If there's one takeaway here, it's that casual home cooks are arguably better off getting a Western chef's knife, since they're more robust and easier to maintain. For professionals and hobbyists interested in going deeper into edge geometry and whetstone sharpening, a Japanese knife can be a very compelling purchase.
Generally speaking, the Japanese knives moved through the paper with the least resistance, indicating a higher degree on average of out-of-the-box sharpness. Still, several of the Western knives were able to cleave through the paper without a hitch, indicating an acceptable level of sharpness. Any blade that snagged or tore the paper repeatedly was disqualified.
Because of the contortions necessary to work around a larger piece of food like this, the test singled out even more knives that had awkward designs—ones whose handles got in the way or whose blades felt dull.Our top picks performed well in all the tests, and passed muster with two professional cooks, a lefty and a righty, with both larger and smaller hand sizes. We ended up selecting three knives from each overarching group , at high, middle, and low price points.
