A kitchen knife might seem like something that doesn't need much thought, but having the right one can really make all the difference. If you're a self-proclaimed home chef, then you know exactly what I mean. For years, I used an old knife-block set that someone bought me in college, and to my knowledge that was just how knives worked. Then I tried a professional-grade one, and I truly was blown away at how well it slid through just about anything.
Since then, my knife game has really improved. Being a shopping editor, I've had the chance to test a number of cool brands, three of which have turned out to be my favorites. I'm a big believer in smaller direct-to-consumer brands, and these knives are all from impressive brands that know exactly what they're doing. If you're on the lookout to upgrade your collection, then you'll want to keep reading. I tested them all in several sizes and rounded up my top picks ahead. Take a look to shop them all and even get the full sets.
