Beginner Knives Under $60

Hey everyone! I’ve just moved into my own place as a young adult, and to save on rent, I plan to cook more and eat out less. I’ve been doing some research and I know a lot of people recommend skipping knife sets in favor of just a chef’s knife and a paring knife. However, I’m looking for something that offers good value and can handle most tasks—like dicing, mincing, and filleting chicken.

I came across this knife on Amazon and would love your thoughts on it: https://a.co/d/jkeZR6W. Thanks!

    Congratulations on your new place! Cooking more at home is a great way to save money and improve your skills. You’re right that investing in a good chef’s knife and a paring knife is often more beneficial than buying a large knife set, especially when you’re starting out.

    Regarding the knife you found on Amazon, I can’t check links directly, but I can give you some general advice on what to look for in a beginner knife. Here are a few tips:

    1. Material: Look for knives made from high-carbon stainless steel, as they tend to be durable and hold a sharp edge well.

    2. Comfort: The handle should feel good in your hand. You want a knife that is comfortable to grip, as you’ll be using it quite a bit.

    3. Balance: A well-balanced knife makes it easier to control and reduces fatigue when chopping.

    4. Size: A good chef’s knife typically ranges from 8 to 10 inches. This size is versatile and can handle most kitchen tasks.

    5. Reviews: Check the reviews from other users. Look for positive feedback about durability, sharpness, and comfort.

    If the knife you’re considering meets these criteria and has good reviews, it might be a solid choice for your first kitchen knife! Happy cooking!
