H. Japanese Chef Knife / 20cm Forged Global Vegetable Knife (GF 36)

Rany's absolute favourite, out of 13 knives she owns.

Don't be deceived by its name; this hybrid model combines the best of Japanese santoku (multipurpose chef's knife) and nakiri (vegetable knife), making it Rany's top kitchen knife for home cooking. Here are four reasons why:

1. Its Chinese cleaver blade design offers the heft and utility you need, along with the sharpness and control found in Western knife styles.
2. Perfect for everything from slicing meat to mashing garlic, its flat blade ensures full contact with your cutting board, while its slight upward curve provides precise control for chopping, slicing, and dicing.
3. Ideal for both professional chefs and first-time home cooks, it's heavy-duty, offers a secure grip, and is highly reliable. Its single-piece construction and full tang design make it one of the most hygienic knives available, guaranteed to last a lifetime.
4. A modern twist of traditional Japanese knife design: sheer pleasure to look at
