You stand in your apartment kitchen. Onion taunts you. This piece of trash provided to you during college doesn’t cut but mashes. You have grown up.
Stop buying cheap knives annually. You will need only one – Victorinox Fibrox Pro 8-Inch Chef’s Knife. It’s not very expensive – costs around thirty-five dollars, which is the price of one nice dinner outside. Its edge lasts longer than you would expect from such an affordable knife.
You are not going to buy some fancy Japanese Shun knife now. It’s meant for you when you learn how to julienne stuff correctly. The handle of this knife is made of textured plastic, so there won’t be any slippage despite the chicken slime all over your hands. This is a kitchen utensil, after all, not some fancy decoration.
This knife becomes blunt with time. But this doesn’t mean that you throw it away and get a new one. No, you just have to sharpen it either with a pull-through sharpener or a whetstone. Maintained properly, this knife will last you at least a decade.
It outperforms knives that are three times more expensive. Really. This knife has been chosen by America’s Test Kitchen as the best in its category for several years in a row. It’s weight balance allows you to rock-chop just like the pros on TV do.
Your friends will buy some fancy Wüsthof knives and then forget about them. You will buy this knife and keep it sharpened enough to cut correctly. And this will help you to turn all those onions into nice little cubes instead of a mess. 🧅
Stop buying new knives every time you move into a new apartment. Buy this knife once, train your muscle memory and spend your money on some avocado toast instead.
