Ateention Chefs cheap knife?

glen

Lifer
I am looking for a cheap 6" chef's knife like you would find in any restaurant in the kitchen - big plastic handle, and a thin blade - like Mundail
What are some of the brands?
 
Wow, so many things wrong with this topic. Without getting into this, I'd recommend you pick up a Forschner/Victorinox.
 
you do not put "chef" and "cheap knife" in the same sentence, unless you throw "wannabe" somewhere in the mix.

I would suggest NOT skimping on chef's knives. Wüsthoff, Henckel, Global... all excellent brands.

Also, I CANNOT overstate the importance of sharpening them and taking care of them.

Handwash only, no dishwasher.

No, I'm no chef, but I do cook an awful lot and awfully well.
 
oh heck - now all the wanna bee chefs come out
Go into a real kitchen in a restaurant and show me the knives they are using

Jesus! I answered your question exactly how you wanted it. Your thread makes no sense. You even resorted to answering your own question with a brand I've never heard of. Chefs use Forschner.

You can froggle or search the net and get that knife for $20 or so.

Are there two people posting under your account?


Don't skimp on the knives. A bad knife gets you hurt and can break easily.

Even the stuff in glass cases you find at stores like Bed, Bath, and Beyond or Linens N' Things would be better choices than POS knives.

A one piece, metal handle is actually a better choice, too. Plastic and wood handles can hold bacteria.

Now... let's be honest here and ask why restaurants use cheap knives. Because they are cheap to replace. Because if they looked good, they'd get stolen. Because people won't take care of them. Because they are not a value-adding piece of equipment... the customer doesn't care what knife cuts their food, they just want to eat.
