This extremely sharp Japanese knife is one of the best deals we’ve found in cutlery. But it has a slightly less durable blade, and the handle doesn’t provide as much knuckle clearance.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 
 Honed and Hand-finished by the most skilled artisans, the knives' laser-controlled edge is incredibly sharp. The sturdy bolster provides the right balance and acts as a finger guard. Precision-forged from a single piece of solid steel, these three rivet handle knives deliver optimum balance and safe handling. Professional chefs worldwide trust the tradition and quality of these impressive knives. This is a classic French chef's knife, with a broad blade and a curved cutting edge for rocking through a chopping task. The 8-inch blade suits most cooks, though those with small hands might prefer a 6-inch knife, and those with bigger hands might choose a 10-inch one. Classic three-rivet handles distinguish Pro S from Henckels's other quality lines, TwinStar, Five Star, and Four Star. Pro S handles are heavier and its knives less weight-forward. The steel used in the Pro S line is identical to that of the Five and Four Star lines. High-tech welding of knives this size and larger combines three steel types into what appears to be a single piece, so a knife's parts have distinct characteristics: a hard edge; a strong, stain-resistant bolster; and a stain- and corrosion-resistant tang. Traditionalists insist on single-piece forging for strength, but Henckels says the invisible welds are actually stronger than the steel. While this chef's knife is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. --Fred Brack From the Manufacturer A Reliable Standard in Knife Construction Twin Pro S knives are precision forged from a single piece of exclusive-formula, high-carbon, no-stain steel under the all-new Sigmaforge standard. As a result, Twin Pro S knives have improved quality consistency, lasting sharpness, and perfect geometry. Sigmaforge one-piece construction also provides high precision and improved stability of the blade and steel structure, thus improving cutting-edge retention for lasting sharpness. In addition, Twin Pro S knives use J.A. Henckels Friodur ice hardening for corrosion resistance, a process that also contributes to cutting-edge retention.

The Zwilling Professional S 8" chef knife is equally as suited to restaurant work as it is to preparing your family's weeknight meals. With a classic European-style rockered blade, it excels at chopping and mincing. The polymer handle is ergonomic and large enough for even the biggest hands to be comfortable without feeling oversized and unwieldy. 
While not quite as adept at some of the more delicate knife work as some of the Japanese-style blades we tested, the Zwilling handled julienning and chiffonades the best of all the euro-style knives we tried. With an excellent hand feel and enough weight behind it to make short work of winter squashes, this knife was our number one choice for a do-it-all chef knife.

 High tech from tip to handle, Global knives from Japan created a sensation when they burst onto the world's culinary stage as an alternative to traditional European-style cutlery. Blades are made of hard molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel and "face-ground" with a long taper rather than a short bevel so edges remain sharp longer than even the best high-carbon stainless-steel knives. Edges also are ground at a more acute angle than traditional European-style knives and arrive from the factory razor-sharp. Although Global also makes a "heavyweight" line for cooks who prefer hefty knives, its original knives--of which this 8-inch chef's knife is an example--have thinner blades and are lighter than traditional European-style knives. Global also dispensed with bolsters on its original knives to reduce weight. Balance is achieved by injecting a precise amount of sand for a particular blade style into a hollow handle. To ensure balance is continuous, the sand flows inside the handle as a blade is maneuvered. A finger notch between blade and handle provides safety. 

 Stainless-steel handles are Global's most striking feature. They're molded to fit the hand and dimpled to resist slipping. Smaller around than many European-style handles, they're easy for small-handed cooks to grasp and seamless for sanitation. Global recommends using a ceramic sharpener or a diamond steel instead of a metal sharpening steel for its knives, supplemented by a synthetic whetstone, a ceramic whetstone, or a Shinkansen sharpener. Global also makes a Sharpening Guide Rail so blades can be honed on a whetstone at the proper angle. Global knives should be hand washed to protect edges. They carry a lifetime warranty against defects and breakage. --Fred Brack

The Global 8" chef knife is crafted from a single piece of stainless steel, giving it a distinctive look and feel. It has one of the thinner heels of any of the rockered blades we tested, and the entire length of the blade stays thin, which aided performance when slicing, mincing, and chiffonading. Its minimal rocker lets it perform almost as equally as well at chopping and dicing. 
We don't have too many complaints about this chef knife, but we will note that the handle was a bit small for our larger-handed testers. This made it difficult to obtain significant amounts of leverage while trying to cut through tough squashes. However, the short handle might just make it a perfect choice for those with smaller hands looking for an eight-inch rockered blade. The Global 8" is a great all arounder at an affordable price, perfect for putting through the wringer of everyday use either at home or in a professional kitchen. 

This 8" knife is commonly used for home and professional kitchens. The thin blade and bolster allows you to easily cut and slice almost any food. This knife features dimples which help cut foods like apples and squash.

The MAC Mighty chef's knife is indeed mighty. With a razor-sharp factory edge and an ergonomic wooden handle, this knife tore through everything we threw at it. An excellent slicer, it could pull off the thinnest of cuts and turn carrots into perfect matchsticks. The dimpled or Granton edge made veggies roll off the side of the blade with much greater ease than many of the other knives we tested, leaving you to cut as fast as you want without having to stop and wipe off the blade. 
This blade has a smaller rocker than classical Europeanchef's knives, so it might take some adjusting if that's what you are used to working with. With a higher price tag and a thin blade that could be more challenging to care for, this MAC knife is best suited for experienced cooks that are looking to upgrade.

Consumer Reports

It’s hard to get nitpicky about a $20 knife, and for more casual cooks the KitchenAid Classic 8” Triple Rivet Chef Knife is a stellar choice.A true value, its looks and design are reminiscent of a Wüsthof Classic. Our panelists found it scored moderately well for all hand sizes, even if two panelists did note minor cramping. Several also thought the blade felt a bit heavy, resulting in less than perfect balance. For more options: The Best Chef’s Knives From Our Tests

Best Chef's Knives From Consumer Reports' Tests

The santoku designed K2, also called White Whale, is without doubt the best knife for vegetables. Thin cut, fresh vegetables are wholesome, they look neat and taste terrific finely shredded. Only the perfectly designed Santoku will do that! The K2 is a modern, ergonomically designed kitchen knife for the professional chef. The broad blade offers a stiffness and rigidity which make the knife perfect for delicate tasks. Also, the shape of the edge allows it to cut in both directions. The benefit of using a special steel is that the blade can be made thinner, lighter and more rigid and this makes your kitchen work easier and more fun. The laminate VG10 special steel will make the edge last longer and this is of course a particular advantage for professionals. The tang runs through the handle at almost full width, which gives both stability and rigidity for the knife.

We have paid extra attention to the shape of the handle – the grip must fill the hand without being clumsy while offering a shape that ensures safety when working with the knife. We achieve this by making the handle of thermorun rubber – the better the grip is, the less fatiguing for your hands. On top of that, the handle is easy to keep clean as it has no grooves or dents. The hygienic aspect is an important detail for those who work with food in restaurants and eateries – not the least for their guests.

Please note that this knife is not adapted for cutting frozen food, nor chopping bones, this will inevitably result in a broken or bent edge. For such heavy tasks we advise you to use a saw or a cleaver. And finally, the best working base is a cutting board made of wood – they are also more hygienic than plastic.
