Knife Recs? Hot take, but I put my knives in the dishwasher. So I’m not looking for wood handles or multi-hundred dollar culinary investments. I just need some work horse knives that can chop veggies like it’s their job, because it is.

Global Chef's Knife: I'm pretty sure I bought this off of a recommendation in Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain. a chef's knife plus a serrated knife are the only two knives you need, in my opinion. I've had mine for 11 years and get it sharpened once in a while and its still perfect.

I also paid the extra money to get this monogrammed and nothing has made me feel as good as when I took it to the knife store to get it sharpened and they asked me if I was a chef (I replied no, I'm just vain).

Victorinox Chef’s Knife: The Swiss Army knife brand. I’ve had fancier knives and these hold their own with way easier care! The Fibrox collection has a wide variety of blade sizes and shapes with a sort of plasticky handle that is super durable.
