Messermeister Meridian Elite Chef's Knife: This was disqualified after failing the initial paper-cutting test.

Miyabi Kaizen Chef's Knife: The Miyabi Kaizen Chef's Knife was knocked out of the running after consistently falling short due to a blade edge that wasn't nearly sharp enough.

They're not wrong, but we ultimately couldn't make it one of our top affordable picks, because the price is quite a bit higher than that of several other knives of a comparable quality level.

Victorinox Fibrox Pro Chef's Knife: For years, media outlets have recommended the Victorinox Fibrox Pro Chef's Knife as one of the best affordable chef's knives on the market.

However, we found it challenging to use a rocking motion while cutting vegetables, due to its relatively narrow edge.

Five Two Chef’s Knife: An attractively-priced knife with the aesthetics to match, this knife wins style points.

Unfortunately, the blade lost its edge after a few short tests, requiring sharpening soon after unboxing.

Made In Chef’s Knife: A handsome knife with a hefty, curved blade, the handle comes in three eye-catching bold colors.And at $75, it's priced similarly (or higher) to some of our long-standing favorite knives. If you enjoy a lighter-weight knife, you'll probably like the Material (although a lot of cooks may prefer a heftier model, like the Wüsthof). Material The 8” Knife: This razor-sharp knife made quick work of all of its tests, and the blade retained its edge, even after chopping through woody carrots.Given its reasonable price, it's a very worthy option.

Mac Chef Series Slicing Chef's Knife: This doesn't feel as sharp or accurate as the other Mac options, but it's the most affordable.Shun VB0706 Sora Chef's Knife: This model came as a surprise to me: The knife is sharp and easy to use, and moderately priced to boot.It performed well, although something about the shape of the blade near the tip made me feel at times like I might accidentally cut myself, despite using the claw on my guiding hand. Mercer Culinary MX3 Premium San Mai VG-10 Steel Core Blade: This is the company's stab at a more Japanese-style design.The Gyutou performed well in all the tests. Tojiro Dp Gyutou: In general, Tojiro's DP line is among the ones we use most often in the Serious Eats test kitchen: The knives are well made, sharp, and affordable, if just a tiny bit clunky.It feels a little clunkier than the Misono and Mac knives but is still an excellent choice. Tojiro DP Damascus Chef's Knife: This is an attractive blade with a great edge.

Mac Knife Professional Hollow Edge Chef's Knife: The Mac Knife Professional Hollow Edge Chef's Knife is a top-notch performer with a high-quality build.

Serious Eats / Vicky Wasik The Competition Also Recommended Sure, there's a whole array of specialized knives you can invest in, but in a pinch, a sharp chef's knife can do most of their jobs more than well enough, whether that's slicing delicate fish, carving a turkey, or mincing a shallot. This is the knife you use to dice onions, chop carrots, smash garlic under its side, and cut up meat. It is a true workhorse, useful for nearly any task. But for all the rest of us, a chef's knife is where most of the action is. There is no kitchen knife more important than a chef's knife, unless, of course, you're an Italian nonna, in which case you can probably break down a cow with a dull paring knife. For less than $100, our affordable Japanese knife pick is the Mac Knife Chef Series Hollow Edge Chef's Knife. Our top high-end, Japanese chef's knife is the nimble, lightweight Misono UX10 Gyutou Knife.

It's not perfect by any means, but its price is unbeatable. For a budget-friendly, Western-style knife, we recommend the Mercer Culinary 8-Inch Millennia Chef's Knife. Our favorite high-end, Western-style chef's knife is the Wüsthof 8-Inch Classic Chef's Knife, which is super-sharp and easy to handle.
