They have to do a funny, un-natural curved stroke to compensate for the rounded front end of the knife.  It takes hours or days to master this.\r\n\r\nMost of your kitchen work will be chopping veggies. A flat bladed Santuko is fantastic for this.\r\n\r\nLook for a 5\" Santuko knife that has a handle that fits nicely in Your hand.\r\n\r\nCHEFS KNIFE:\r\n\r\nAmericas Test Kitchen has recommended the Victorknox Fibrox Chefs knife for several years. It runs about $45. You will NOT hear the angels singing a chorus when you pull this thing out.  It is not a delicate, exotic, finely crafted piece of steel. It is a PROFESSIONAL knife. It is sharp, steady, balanced, can survive the dishwasher and clumsy prep cooks. Restaurants buy these in a 6-pack for their cooks to use.\r\n\r\nIF YOU WANT A MATCHED SET:\r\n\r\n$96: [Fibrox set](https://www.amazon.com/Victorinox-4-Piece-Knife-Fibrox-Handles/dp/B004IEBTZ4/ref=sr_1_5?crid=1PM3WIY92GVHP\u0026amp;dchild=1\u0026amp;keywords=victorinox+knife+set\u0026amp;qid=1628471677\u0026amp;refinements=p_89%3AVictorinox\u0026amp;rnid=2528832011\u0026amp;s=home-garden\u0026amp;sprefix=victor%2Cgarden%2C240\u0026amp;sr=1-5)\r\n\r\nThen - take the rest of your money and buy a Chefs Choice electric knife sharpener. Even the most magical knife will get dull and you will hate to use it.  You should really buy a sharpener system FIRST, use it on your old beater knives (you will be shocked at the difference), then invest in nice knifes.","subreddit_name":"Cooking","author":"ShamBawk33"},{"body":"https://www.amazon.com/Victorinox-4-Piece-Knife-Fibrox-Handles/dp/B004IEBTZ4/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1533147258\u0026amp;sr=8-6\u0026amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65\u0026amp;keywords=victorinox+chef+knife\u0026amp;dpPl=1\u0026amp;dpID=41TiRfqIcrL\u0026amp;ref=plSrch\r\n\r\nAdd a honing rod, a peeler, and a knife bag and you’re set.
