Your kitchen is home to cooking and baking tools and appliances of all shapes and sizes, but the most important of all are kitchen knives, chief among them is the chef’s knife. Seriously, just ask any chef.

The ever-reliable chef’s knife is impressively all-purpose, capable of slicing meat, dicing vegetables, and chopping herbs seamlessly. If you’re skilled enough, you can even use it for deboning fish or performing the Chiffonade cut. It’s therefore a must to select high-quality cutlery as it contributes a lot to safety, efficiency, and the overall quality of your meal. 

While first-rate blades can be costly, there’s no need to cough up hundreds for a chef knife you’ll use for years. Milk Street, a globally renowned platform and community that offers a TV show, cookbooks, and best-in-class products, brings you its own version of the Santoku Knife, which you can cop on sale for over 40 percent off for a limited time.

A knife that changes the way you cook

One thing to know about knives is that they’re often grouped into two categories: European (or, more specifically, German) and Japanese. Western-style knives tend to be thicker and heavier, while Japanese blades are known for being thin and sharp. This Milk Street chef knife is designed after the popular Japanese santoku, with a 7-inch blade shorter than standard chef’s knives, great for prepping veggies and slicing meats. It’s also only 1.5mm thick at the spine, which means it requires less force to cut, resulting in easier, cleaner cuts.

This chef knife also features a pronounced blade curve to the belly, allowing for seamless rock chopping and mincing, as well as a fine tip for detail work. For your safety, it has a comfortable « lock-in » ergonomic handle that is broad at the top and tapers toward the bottom. Its gently curved handle is designed to accommodate hands of all sizes, while the embossed file pattern adds more grips between the thumb and the pointer finger.

Save big on an all-purpose kitchen knife

You may be delighted to find out that the Milk Street Santoku Knife was also designed and engineered with the help of award-winning chef and personality Christopher Kimball. It usually retails for $89, but for a limited time, you can grab it on sale for only $49.95.
