How to Find the Best Chef Knife

If you want to buy chef knives for your home kitchen, you might be wondering what you should look for and how much you need to spend? With seemingly infinite options available in an endless variety of styles, sizes, shapes, materials and brands, how do you choose the right one?

The best knife is the one that feels comfortable and moves best in your hand, so it’s a great idea to pop into Mega Boutique so you can touch, try and select from our huge range of knives from all the leading brands including Global, Wusthof, Miyabi, Victorinox and more.

If you are going to buy chef knives online, here’s a few tips to keep in mind:

Japanese knives, such as a Global chef knife or a Miyabi chef knife, are generally thin, lightweight, and easy to manoeuvre. With a single bevel on one side of the blade, different Asian knives may be required for left and right handed cooks. Another trademark is its flat blade, which makes it ideal for straight, clean chops. 

Western-style knives, such as a Wusthof chef’s knife or Wiltshire chef knife, generally have a symmetrical V-shaped blade that is bevelled on both sides and features a more rounded belly. This accommodates both left and right handed users and allows for an effortless rocking motion for smooth and precise cutting. 

When it comes to size, an 8-inch / 20cm chef’s knife is the most popular among home cooks because of its versatility. A longer blade may feel intimidating to those who are less confident with their knife skills. A shorter blade may offer more agility but is less practical when working with volume or slicing through larger produce. Victorinox chef knives are available in a range of sizes and are popular amongst both professional chefs and home cooks for their combination of quality, comfort and value. 

Do Knife Sets Include a Chef’s Knife?

A kitchen knife set is often a great way to purchase multiple knives, and most leading brands offer sets with varying knife configurations, most often featuring butcher knives, carving or slicer knife as well as a paring or utility knife. Before buying a knife set, sit down and think about what knives you are constantly reaching for in the kitchen, and ensure the set you choose includes all of these.
