It would be a great addition to anyone’s knife bag, but we feel that beginners may benefit more from the sturdiness that comes from traditional, German knives.

With a wicked sharp blade, this Mac blade is ideal for experienced cooks. In addition to sharpness and strength, it had the best control of all the knives, even when rocked to mince garlic. The super-thin, high-carbon steel blade is dimpled to help it glide easily through sticky foods like squash and cheese.

It aced every single test that we threw at it, with a super-sharp cutting edge that made a beautiful chiffonade of basil. Slicing through soft, ripe tomatoes were just as joyous as cubing a butternut squash, and the dimples help prevent food from sticking to the blade. This delightfully lightweight knife-our second-lightest at 6.8 ounces-offers the user incredible control and razor-sharpness right out of the box. These hybrid knives take hard Japanese steel and forge them to be all-purpose like traditional Western chef’s knives, sharpening both sides of the blade. You may have heard of Japanese knife makers like Shun and Global, but Mac knives fly under the radar for Japanese hybrid-style chef’s knives. It's a perfect starter knife for beginners and would make a great addition to any pro’s collection. Overall, this is a really solid, perfectly balanced blade with excellent control, allowing you to confidently work through large cuts with precision and comfort. The design of the wide, tapered bolster made this knife easy to grip and seriously comfortable to use.

The weight gave it the strength to handle the heavy-duty tasks we threw at it, cutting through butternut squash with ease.Ī heavier knife can be less adept at precise cuts, but the Zwilling Pro has a super sharp edge that sliced up a tomato without issue. This high-carbon steel German knife weighs in at 9.5 ounces, making it one of the heftier knives we tested. The Henckels Zwilling Pro is a serious workhorse, pulling ahead of the pack in nearly every one of our tests and earning the top spot as Best Overall Chef’s Knife. Henckels is one of the most recognizable names in the knife making industry, so it’s not surprising that this knife rose to the top of our list in the original testing and stayed there for round two.
