J.A. Henckels International Classic 8-Inch Stainless-Steel Chef's Knife Feature

• Large-sized 8-inch multipurpose chef's knife for chopping, mincing, slicing and dicing
• Made of stain-resistant carbon steel that's hot drop forged for durability
• Triple riveted handle surrounds a full tang
• Full bolster provides weight and ensures safety
• Handwash with mild cleanser; lifetime warranty

A good chef's knife becomes your daily kitchen companion. It's used for everything from prepping steaks for the grill to finely mincing onions, and chances are you'll reach for it every time you cook--so it better be good. This lower-priced line from Henckels is a great value: excellent quality knives with their standard lifetime warranty. There's good balance, and the handles are a shade heavier than other lines, which some cooks will prefer. The 8-inch blade length is the most practical for multipurpose use, and regular sharpening will keep the stainless-steel blade razor-sharp. It's only minimally flexible, which makes it a great choice for vegetables such as potatoes and turnips. While it's dishwasher-safe, unless it needs sanitizing after use with raw meat, it's often easier to hand wash. --Jill Lightner Classic knives are hot drop forged from a single piece of carbon, no-stain steel. This professional construction assures high durability, proper weight, and superior stain resistance. The hand honed blade guarantees a precision cutting edge that will stay sharper longer. The triple riveted, classic design handles are durable, comfortable, and unbreakable. The full bolster also provides added weight and ensures safety. Lifetime warranty.

With the wealth of freshly-baked artisan breads available these days, a bread knife with a serrated edge is a necessity. The Twin Cuisine 8-inch serrated bread knife cuts thin, uniform slices from even the crustiest bread, and slices equally smoothly through tomatoes, avocadoes, and other foods that have a tougher exterior than interior. While not recommended for cutting meat and fish (slices won't turn out evenly), the serrated bread knife is surprisingly versatile and makes an excellent gift for anyone who loves to bake their own bread or buy uncut loaves. --Ann Bieri
