Best Chefs Knife

 

Here are a few or our favorite Chef knives based on over 20 reviews on cooking cache.

The best overall chef's knife based on quality, edge sharpness and edge retention is the Misono 8.25 inch Chef's Knife. These knives look as good as they perform. The UX 10 line offers superior performance in a lightweight comfortable knife. We found the blade sharpness out of the box to be excellent and the ability of the steel to hold an edge was well above average. 

The runner up is the Masahiro Chef Knife. We found the knife to be beautifully made and carefully detailed. Fit and finish are excellent and the balance of the knife is outstanding. Masahiro's MVH's thin blade is constructed from MBS-26 stainless steel which we found to be easy to sharpen and holds its edge very well. The cutting edge is asymmetrical: 80% on the right side of the blade and 20% on the left side, then polished to a mirror finish. This tapered style edge reduces "wedging" for a perfect finished cut. The handles are incredibly smooth and rounded using a composite resin handle which feels great in your hand, plus it's much longer lasting than wood options. 

The best value of all the knives we tested was the Global Chef Knife Model G-2. At 1/2 the price of the 2 knives above this reliable and attractive knife is super sharp out of the box and very easy to resharpen. The knife holds up well to heavy use but some testers complained the knife handle was a little light and uncomfortable which kept it from top honors.
