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

The Knife: Material The 8" Knife ($75)

The Specs: Made with three layers of Japanese steel, this larger knife has a 26-degree edge that is cryogenically tempered to withstand time and a lot of use.

My Favorite Feature: This knife truly does it all. While every set has a chef's knife this size, this one was my favorite of the bunch. Not only does it cut great, but I liked the comfy (and cute) grip that is stain-resistant and feels good and secure on my hand. I put this one in the dishwasher from time to time, and it's held up great.
