4 Kitchen Knives That Changed the Way I Cook and Are Worth Buying

The Knife: Hast Kitchen Utility Knife ($89)

The Specs: Made from matrix powder steel, this is a more lightweight choice. The Japanese-style blade is sharp and easy to maneuver, and it has a sleek silhouette.

My Favorite Feature: As someone who loves anything sleek and minimal, this brand definitely caught my eye. I have it in gold, which is fun, but it also comes in a few other finishes. Hands down, though, the lightweight design is what really sold me. It feels durable and sharp, yet it has this weightless quality that truly makes me feel like I'm using something much more expensive.
