Chef Aid 5 Inch Stainless Steel Utility Knife with Soft Grip Handle

Product Information

This is a santoku, which translates as ‘three virtues’, meaning it’s equally useful for meat, fish and vegetables. But the Zwilling also feels good as a rocking, veg-chopping knife and the tapered shape is particularly good for making long, effortless slices in meat and fish. Use the wrong knife and you risk shredding, tearing and hacking at the meat, rather than cutting it cleanly. Over the years, we’ve invited friends and colleagues of all culinary stripes to our test kitchen to participate in a chopping panel.

But with our best kitchen knives, you can enjoy easy chopping, slicing and dicing for years to come. There was no dragging with the bread knife and the utility knife shredded basil finely, but the paring knife struggled to remove orange skin and slipped a bit in use. ProCook is dedicated to supporting our long-term charity partner's mission to inspire action to reduce single use plastics. While some brands claim their knives are dishwasher safe, we’d always advise against this to keep them in top condition. Wall-mounted magnetic strips—such as the Benchcrafted Mag-Blok we recommend in our guide to small-kitchen gear—are better and safer.Here, it’s all about the blade – as you’d expect from Sheffield, where this is made by one of the five remaining knife-makers (there used to be 300). Undoubtedly a set for skilled cooks, you’ll have to ship this one from the States, but it’s worth it if you’re looking for a high-end addition to your kitchen.

The knives are good-looking, well-balanced and made of steel hardened with chromium, molybdenum and vanadium, similar to that used in the Global G-2. 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.
