Here's The Chef's Knife Anthony Bourdain Used At Home
BY Javaria Akbar
According to Anthony Bourdain, a chef's knife from Japanese brand Global is the one he used in his home kitchen and the one recommended in his 2020 memoir "Kitchen Confidential."
Bourdain explained, "Please believe me, here's all you will ever need in the knife department: ONE good chef's knife, as large as is comfortable for your hand."
The celebrity chef gave his seal of approval to "lightweight, easy-to-sharpen and relatively inexpensive vanadium steel Global knives."
According to Bourdain, this single knife is perfect for slicing through everything from a shallot to a sirloin strip, depending on how you wield it.
This is because Global knives are shaped like Japanese Gyuto knives, which are curved at the front half for precision work and flatter towards the heel for chopping.
What sets them apart from Western knives is their acute, rather than beveled, edge, which keeps them sharper for longer.
