Cascade 8-inch Chef's Knife

A good chef's knife makes cooking feel easier, and the Cascade does exactly that. Out of the box it's sharp enough to glide through a tomato, and the weight sits right at the bolster so long prep sessions don't tire your wrist.

The steel takes a keen edge and holds it through weeks of normal use before needing a hone. It's not a hand-forged heirloom — but as the one knife most kitchens actually need, it's hard to beat.
