Bustle states that, above all the gadgets and kitchen toys that chefs love to collect, nothing is as necessary and used as much on a daily basis as a “high-quality kitchen knife.” A knife that is easy to grip, stays ultra-sharp, and is made with all the power and precision needed to slice through meat, vegetables, and more is what you want. Once the chef has that knife in hand, he can begin to make just about anything (source).
