A well-equipped home kitchen should have at least four types of kitchen knives: a chef's knife, a slicer, a utility knife,
and a parer. Forged-steel knives sliced, diced, and chopped their way to the top of our Ratings. They tend to be sturdier
and less apt to bend than stamped-steel knives, but they're more expensive. If you're looking for information about kitchen
knives and knife sets, Consumer Reports is your best resource. Use our kitchen knives buying guide to learn about the knife features that are most important to consider.
We also provide Ratings and recommendations of the best kitchen knives and knife sets.
