      Victorinox chef’s knife 8" or 10"

      edit: didn’t see the under $20 qualifier. looks like ~$45 on amazon currently. well worth that price imo

        Literally the top choice for beater chefs knife in kits around the world. My Henkles and Globals are nice knives but if Im splitting up a partly frozen whole chicken Im using the victorinox because it is made to be abused

          Nice. I need a new peeler soon and most of my best knives are Victorinox. Their paring knives are pretty well made as well.

      I personally really love my Babish Chef’s knife. I generally avoid buying content creator merch, but all the reviews I read for the knife seemed overwhelming positive for the price point

      If you’ve got an Asian market, look for “Kiwi” brand knives there. Usually sold in big bins without packaging (maybe a plastic sleeve if you’re lucky). They’re sharp, but they do wear so also grab a cheap pull-through sharpener
