- 8” – 10” chef knife or the largest you feel comfortable holding.
- a small paring knife for smaller tasks.
- the typical choice is between German or Japanese:
- our top pick for value and just amazingness?
- this 8″ Victorinox Chef Knife. high quality and very affordable.
- this 10″ Victorinox Chef Knife. it’s longer and my personal favorite.
- pair with this Victorinox Pairing knife.
- German tends to be a little thicker and sturdier. we recommend something like this http://amzn.to/2AJPhks or this Wusthof http://amzn.to/2k73kKs
- Japanese tends to be thinner and lighter. we love globals like this 8” http://amzn.to/2BBEBIj or this 10” my personal favorite http://amzn.to/2CJMedz
