[00:00] What's up guys today's video is on the top five best chef's knife under $100. Through extensive research and testing, I've put together a list of options that will meet the needs of different types of buyers.

[00:12] So whether it's price, performance, or its particular use, we've got you covered, for more information, on the products, I've included links in the description box down below, which are updated for the best prices, like the video, comment, and don't forget to subscribe.

[00:27] Now let's get started. Starting at number five, we have the Mison Chef's knife. We're starting with a heavy hitter, at least when it comes to the world of kitchenware. Mison is one of the most prestigious names when it comes to luxury goods for the home, especially in and around the kitchen,

[00:44] so they may not be the first option that people think of when it comes to equality, yet affordable chef's knife. However, that is exactly what they have done with this particular eight inch professional kitchen knife.

[00:56] The blade is perfectly balanced and evenly distributed to be easy to handle and use in the kitchen by anyone, and that's certainly the case. Plus, the overall design means that, like any good chef's knife, it can be used to chop up pretty much anything.

[01:12] Plus, that premium steel design isn't just for looks, either. The type of steel used here is designed to not only stand up to punishment but also keep that sharpness for longer than its competitors.

[01:25] Moving on at number four, we have the J.A. Hankel's classic eight inch chef's knife. J.A. Hankel's is another name that many people who know their cuddlery and cooking tool providers will be aware of, with this German-based company being one of the oldest in the world, being founded in 1731.

[01:42] That's plenty of experience when it comes to manufacturing premium items, and perhaps one of the best and most surprising places to see that experience on full display in this particular product.

[01:54] A classic eight inch chef's knife. Made from a fully forged German steel blade, the transition from the blade to the handle, itself well built and securely tied into the metal of the blade. Means that you have a level of dexterity and control that you can often struggle with getting from knives of this size.

[02:11] Hankel's almost makes it look easy with this particular product. That well forged steel isn't there just to look shiny, either. It's made from a high quality alloy that gives this blade durability and reliability that Dully demonstrates why J.A. Hankel's has stayed in business for this long.

[02:29] At number three, we have this willing twin signature eight inches chef knife. If you're looking for a chef knife design that is going to be easy for anyone to use, then you can't go wrong with Swilling's twin signature chef knife.

[02:42] Like with the Hankel blade we covered before, we particularly love this knife's ability to maneuver easily while cutting a food item, something that is trickier in these larger blades. And with this beam of eight inch blade, that combination of size and ease of use allows this item to tackle more food, meaning that you'll be able to prepare your food for cooking or serving just that little bit quicker.

[03:04] Plus, with an edge that is resistant to water, dulling, and even chipping, it's a knife that is also going to be usable for years to come, which is another aspect that affordable products can struggle with.

[03:16] All while the knife itself feels great to use too, adding one of these knives to your pantry is a great investment. At number two, we have the Amarku chef's knife. Amarku might be a relative newcomer to the world of high quality knife and kitchenware products, but that hasn't stopped them from making some truly exceptional items.

[03:37] Case in point, their trademark chef's knife, is an excellent take on a classic eight inch chef knife. Immediately, this chef's knife grabs your eye, the rounded wooden handle, which might otherwise not be a great design in terms of fitting into a cook's hand.

[03:52] Instead fits like a glove, with the curve of the handle going along the eight inch blade spine. This leads to quite an impressive level of control and leverage, especially when applying a little extra pressure to a food item that you might be preparing.

[04:07] Plus, while the blade is by no means heavy, it's certainly large and has enough weight to easily glide through most items when applied to them. Not only that, with a corrosion proof layer on top of the metal, you'll find that you can even avoid rust building up over time too.

[04:23] All these little details add up in a big way over time, which is why we're recommending this blade in the first place. And finally at number one, we have the made-in cookware eight inches chef knife.

[04:35] If you thought that Amarku was a new name on the culinary block, then you've seen nothing yet. The manufacturer for this next item, made-in, is a company based in Austin, Texas and was established only six years ago, making it by far the youngest company on this list.

[04:52] Don't let this newcomer fool you, however, as this is a manufacturer that means business, and is set to become a very big name in the future. If this eight inch knife is any indication, at least, made from a single sheet of steel, this design aspect gives this made-in knife a very tough design that is unlikely to chip or snap, especially when looking at how the spine of the blade is incorporated into the handle.

[05:17] In short, if you love to be at the cutting edge, pun entirely intended, with your kitchenware, check out this product. Thanks for watching and that's all for now. I hope to see you guys in the next video, till next time.
