About this deal

And because of the MTH-80’s excellent edge retention, with proper care it will stay sharp for a long time. If you’re starting out, it’s safer to place the tip of the honing rod on a cutting board, with the rod perpendicular to the board. SUPERIOR STAINLESS STEEL - Constructed from high-carbon stainless steel to ensure each kitchen knife is strong, lightweight and durable.

A large serrated knife that is great for slicing foods with thick crusts or rinds like artisan breads and melons/gourds. Tojiro Sha Ra Ku Mono knives are good value for a range of high carbon Japanese steel knives and have a hardness of 56 HRC. However, the MTH-80’s handle and knuckle clearance were too small for one 6-foot-6 tester (whom we paid for their feedback). Japanese-style knives tend to have a straighter blade and be made from harder (and so slightly more brittle) steel.Another budget choice, the Messermeister Pro Series Wide-Blade Chef’s Knife 5025-8 was pretty much on a par with our budget pick.

Starting with the coarsest stone, draw the knife blade across the full length of the stone, from heel to tip. To sharpen knives with whetstones, you need to soak the stones first and keep them wet as you sharpen. Comprised of 5 expertly constructed pieces, each knife is designed with a quirky caption detailing that knife's specific function. But instead of pulling against the steels, the electric sharpener will buff the blade with the rotating steels as you lightly drag the knife through the Vs. The handle material provides optimum comfort and grip with a bolster located at the front, adding equal weight throughout the whole piece.

It feels more agile than the German models we’ve tested and more durable than the thin Japanese gyutos. The knife set includes a 10” carving knife, a 9” bread knife, an 8” chef’s knife, a 5” utility knife and a 3.

EASY TO CLEAN - Dishwasher safe but best to gently wash by hand with soap and warm water for maximum durability and extended knife quality.The taper ground blade is crafted from premium German stainless steel with a high carbon content to maintain a sharper cutting edge.

FLAWLESS CONSTRUCTION - Each kitchen knife is forged continuously in a single piece from handle to blade, giving extra strength and eliminating any hiding places for bacteria, making the knives incredibly hygienic. When you purchase from us, you can rest assured that you're getting a truly exceptional product that has been carefully crafted to meet your every need. We’ve reviewed both German and Japanese knives below, but if you’re in a hurry here’s a quick look at our top five: Which is the best kitchen knife in 2024? It’s much heavier than the Japanese knives below and leads you to adopt a pinch-grip where the handle meets the blade. It’s light compared to European chef’s knives and, though you can’t balance it on your finger as some people like to do, is well balanced and comfy to use.

In this motion (shown above), the tip of the knife mostly keeps contact with the cutting board, and you raise and lower the heel while your guiding hand pushes food underneath the blade. A Japanese gyuto (top) has a flatter edge, and the classic German knife (bottom) has a more-pronounced curve.
