[00:48] surely do an amazing job.
[00:51] And again, we bring you another Santoku
[00:53] style knife simply because they are
[00:55] amazing.
[00:56] This Mad Shark Santoku style chef knife
[00:58] brings a lot of advantages to the table.
[01:01] Be aware that even though this is a
[01:03] Santoku knife, does not mean that you
[01:05] will get the same result as a
[01:06] traditional Japanese high-quality one
[01:08] and a non-Japanese one.
[01:11] This knife, even though it is not made
[01:12] in Japan, it offers some decent things.
[01:16] Reportedly resembling German technology,
[01:18] this knife is a tool that serves a lot
[01:20] for the money that you give for it.
[01:22] Made from German stainless steel, this
[01:25] 5.9-in blade brings quite a bit
[01:27] strength, sharpness, and durability
[01:29] packed into it.
[01:31] The full tang design of this knife also
[01:33] gives a bit of extra on the durability
[01:35] and stability of the knife.
[01:37] Number four,
[01:39] Cut Chef knife set, 7-in.
[01:42] When you look at the price of this
[01:43] product, you might say that you cannot
[01:45] get a good quality knife for that money.
[01:47] However, the German family-owned
[01:48] business Cut will prove you wrong.
[01:51] They are not a very well-known brand in
[01:53] the knife-making industry, but that are
[01:55] surely on the rise.
[01:57] With the purchase of this knife, you
[01:58] also get some handy tools, like an
[02:00] odor-removing soap and a metal finger
[02:02] guard.
[02:04] Despite the price tag of this knife, the
[02:06] Cut Chef knife will give you a feel that
[02:08] you have a high-end professional knife
[02:09] in your hands.
[02:11] The design of this knife is very
[02:12] impressive. The logo of the company
[02:15] printed very nicely on the blade gives
[02:16] it that extra bit of prettiness to the
[02:18] knife.
[02:19] This knife always surprises its users
[02:21] with the incredible strength, sharpness,
[02:24] and durability that it has.
[02:26] Number three,
[02:28] Mac Knife Series Hollow Edge 8.
[02:31] We can say that this knife is one of the
[02:32] most expensive and highest-quality
[02:34] knives on our list.
[02:36] It comes from Japanese knife makers that
[02:38] do not usually make their knives from
[02:40] the most often-used materials.
[02:43] They use some different metal alloys
[02:44] that makes their knife exceptionally
[02:46] sharp and magnificent, which we will
[02:48] take a look in a bit.
[02:50] The first thing that you will see on
[02:51] this knife are the little holes that are
[02:52] on the blade, and you might wonder what
[02:54] they are and why are they there.
[02:56] With simple words, those are air pockets
[02:59] that are very useful when cutting food.
[03:01] They make it almost impossible for the
[03:03] food to stick onto the edge of the
[03:05] knife.
[03:06] Pair that with the incredible sharpness
[03:08] that this knife possesses, and you got
[03:10] yourself an exceptional and unique
[03:12] high-quality chef knife.
[03:14] Number two,
[03:16] Victorinox Fibrox Pro.
[03:18] Some of you may already know Victorinox.
[03:21] If you don't, well, this is one of the
[03:22] most well-known Swiss knife and
[03:24] cutlery-making brand.
[03:26] When you look at this knife the first
[03:28] time, you might say that this knife does
[03:30] not have anything special on it, and it
[03:32] looks very simple and low quality.
[03:34] But we can assure you that this knife is
[03:36] simply breathtaking.
[03:38] The small and compact design of this
[03:40] knife makes it so it will be used in a
[03:42] lot of various cutting tasks in your
[03:43] kitchen.
[03:45] The standard size of this knife is 6-in,
[03:47] but there is a 10-in option as well.
[03:50] But for everyday cutting tasks, the 6-in
[03:53] option will be far better than the
[03:54] bigger one simply because it will let
[03:56] you reach places that the 10-in one
[03:58] cannot.
[03:59] The grip on this knife is a thing worth
[04:01] talking about.
[04:02] It is a non-slip Fibrox handle.
[04:05] It is a material that gives you a grip
[04:07] even while soaked in water like nothing
[04:09] else.
[04:10] All of these facts are enough to ensure
[04:12] the Victorinox Fibrox Pro a spot on our
[04:14] list.
[04:16] Number one,
[04:17] Imarku chef knife.
[04:20] Let's start with a knife that is more
[04:21] suited to beginner cooks.
[04:23] The Imarku SC10-01
[04:26] chef knife is an amazing choice for
[04:28] people that want an extremely
[04:29] high-quality knife that will do most of
[04:31] the kitchen work.
[04:33] This knife is proven to be very durable.
[04:36] The German stainless steel used to make
[04:38] the blade of this knife is considered
[04:39] one of the most quality steels, which
[04:41] gives the knife outstanding sharpness
[04:43] and strength.
[04:45] Many chef knives are made to do various
[04:47] cutting tasks, but this knife brings
[04:49] that to another level.
[04:51] You can use this Imarku knife to do
[04:52] almost anything in your kitchen.
[04:55] From cutting soft and light vegetables
[04:57] to cutting and boning chicken with ease.
[05:00] The blade on this knife is 8-in, which
[05:02] makes it a little bigger than some
[05:03] people may want, but nonetheless, we
