Our pals at Cooks Illustrated share our philosophy — you don’t have to spend a fortune on cooking tools to make good food. That’s why the magazine’s panel decided to try out about ten inexpensive chef’s knives. We’ll cut to the chase… the winner was the Victorinox 8-inch Army Fibrox Chef’s Knife, which sells for about $27. (Model: 47520)
The knife got the highest marks for blade design, handle comfort, kitchen tasks, and edge retention.
