Kitchen Knife Review

Best Kitchen Knives in 2011

I am sure we have covered each of these kitchen knives here individually, but I thought it would be worth wrapping them all up to show you what the best kitchen knives have been through 2011.

Victorinox Fibrox Chef's Knife

What I love most about this Victorinox Fibrox chef's knife topping the chart here of the best kitchen knives is that it is what most of us would term as an affordable kitchen knife. The other two on this list of top 3 knives are somewhat more expensive that most people are wanting to pay, but this Fibrox from Victorinox has worked its way up the ranks over the last year to become one of the most popular kitchen knives in the world.

The chef's knife shown here is the 8 inch version which, in my opinion, is the best size for a western chef's knife.

Global G-2 Cook's Knife

Another chef's knife (although Global refer to them as 'cook's knives' more often than not), this time from the Japanese powerhouse kitchen knife forger that is Global. The brand itself is iconic and known all over the world, and this all purpose 8 inch chef's knife is their most popular kitchen knife by far - making it one of the world's best kitchen knives.

As you can see, it is forged for single unit stainless steel blended with chromium. They are seamless, smooth and simply beautiful to look at and to hold. They are impeccably well balanced, easy to use and very very sharp! If you are looking for a high end workhorse in your kitchen knife rack, look no further than this Global G-2 Cook's Knife.

Wusthof Classic Ikon Cook's Knife

For the third best kitchen knife here on Kitchen Knife Review, we have the first 10 inch chef's knife to make the grade. I am personally more of a fan of kitchen knives with a full tang and separate handle as we see here with the Wusthof Classic Ikon cook's knife. It is simply beautiful to behold, and in my view combines the best of both worlds - elegant Japanese inspired styling and the sturdy, work horse like durability of a famous western knife forger.

Definitely a great kitchen knife for the collection.
