Best ergonomic workhorse for home cooks prioritizing comfort and balance.
A rugged, American-made workhorse that prioritizes durability and heft over delicate slicing. It handles heavy-duty tasks like breaking down meat and chopping herbs with ease, though it lacks the razor-thin edge required for fine vegetable work.
