I own the knife from the second pic in the slideshow. It's a really good but expensive knife from the brand Global.
That handle is unmistakable.
When it comes to knives; invest in a few good ones. Learn how to sharpen them. Wash and dry them straight after use, take care of your knives. Good knives are like babies, they will last as long as you take care of them. Go Japanese, take a look at Global. Global's bread knife also does the job pretty fucking well, also good for butchering down some meat when the going gets tough.
If you're feeling like a big boy, go for a 10" Masahiro - this will keep you sorted for all your veggie needs forever and ever. This small peeler from Fiskar is also an underestimated legend in my kitchen.
I have 5 Global knives (set of small paring, medium chopping, large chopping; medium chopping fluted; and bread) plus a small Global sharpener, total spent ~$300
They are awesome. Highly recommended. I used the medium fluted one regularly for a year before I noticed it wasn't as sharp as before, and a few swipes through the sharpener and it was nearly new again. i fully expect these knives to last me 10, 20, who knows how many years, or until i decide i want even better knives that cost many times more
the only caveat is that they don't have solid metal handles (there is a cavity inside i guess) so they aren't heavily weighted towards the handle like those knives with heavy wood handles (fancy knives or not). i think i prefer this as it makes me more agile with the knife, but this is probably a personal preference
backstory: i used to have my dad's knives which were old and crappy. got sick of those and bought myself a ~$90 Cuisinart knife set with wood block. came with like 15 knives. I thought it was awesome but the knives barely held and edge and i only ever found myself using 2 or 3 of the knives anyways (i later sold the whole set at a garage sale for maybe $10, they just weren't worth it). A buddy got me 1 Global knife for christmas a couple years ago and it blew my fucking mind. So sharp, precise, effortless. I'm sure this is all relative and there are even better more expensive knives. Even with my 5 knives I have now, I still only use probably 2 of them regularly, but I still prefer the option of having a bread knife, a large/medium/small knife, and something that is fluted for easier fast chopping
I love my Global knives; I chose them mainly because they are a single piece of stainless steel and I get skeeved out about bacteria hiding (so you could
put them in the dishwasher if you wanted to, tho I don’t). They were fairly affordable and have a modern / minimalist style.
Currently I have the 8” chefs knife and bread knife (just amazing). We lost a santoku and a western paring in a cross country move and I will probably replace the paring with the exact same and the santoku with another regular global chefs knife just because I like the look; I don’t think they were substantially better than a competitor of the same style and I didn’t have much use for the santoku.
