As someone who does cooking for a living, I'm very embarrassed to say that all my knives are actually pretty dull. Because I always wanted to invest in new equipment instead of spending on something that was working already. Although I'm very well aware that dull knives can be dangerous and that a good quality knife also makes you cook more efficiently. So I finally decided to get a good quality knife. And after some research, I found that the best most affordable cooking knife was a Sentoku knife from the Cooking Guild. This Japanese knife is 7 inch, so a little bit smaller than a regular chef's knife, but lighter for more precise cuts. My only requirement for this knife was that it would cut paper in one try as smoothly as possible, which in fact it can because I tried. So if that test is good enough for you, you should get this knife.

Y'all, I got a problem. I can't stop collecting knives. And this Japanese steel chef knife from the Cooking Guild is my latest addition. So let me put it to the test. I love the design, but I was definitely impressed by how smooth they cut through this steak. Definitely a great addition to my kitchen.

I received this knife as a free item and it's very sharp and it gets everything cut well.
