Lookin’ sharp.
From the makers of the classic French folding knife comes a collection of kitchen knives that are already making waves—they’ve been selected by the Alain Ducasse cooking school for use in their workshops. Here’s why: Their molded handles are ergonomic and well-balanced, and the blades are full tang, meaning the quality Sandvik steel runs all the way down through the handle for extra stability and strength. Buy them one by one, or opt for the essential 3-piece set, which includes the chef, bread and paring knives.
