Public interest in cooking is growing as more people want to learn to cook than ever before. You’ve likely seen food trends on TikTok or popular TV series about cooking and may be interested in dabbling into the art yourself. The first step in starting your new hobby is finding some great tools to work with.

Knives may be the single most important cooking tool since low-quality knives could make or break your experience. High-quality, sharp knives are certainly worth investing in. This hand-crafted chef knife is ergonomic, lightweight, and razor-sharp for just $109.99 (reg. $199.99).

The Awabi Damascus chef knife is crafted to be strong, durable, and easy to use from the handle all the way through the tip to cut through any food on your cutting board. Hold the knife comfortably and confidently with the ergonomic VG-10 handle using either hand. The stainless steel bolster creates a well-balanced feel to give you maximum control.

The knife has a razor-sharp 15° double-bevel edge and 66 layers of high-carbon stainless steel to make the 8” blade a top choice in the market. Use the knife to dice vegetables, thinly slice meat, and anything in between with ease.

When you’re done cooking be sure to wash it by hand since dishwashers can dull a knife’s sharpness and encourage corrosion. Lessen the amount of times the knife needs to be sharpened by storing it with the included blade edge protector and box.

Show off your knife’s colorful abalone resin handle and the mirror finish of the polished blade to all of your cooking buddies. Or have an excellent knife to follow you all throughout your newfound cooking journey.
