A Forged Chef's Knife is a Versatile Kitchen Essential

The chef's knife is the workhorse of any kitchen. Ideal for chopping, dicing, slicing and even carving meat, it's the knife you'll turn to again and again. Since it's is sure to get regular use, you'll want to make sure that you buy a forged chef's knife that is designed for maximum strength and lasting sharpness.

The Options

Whether you're a seasoned chef or only an occasional cook, you're going to need a forged chef's knife in your kitchen arsenal. Personal preference will dictate whether you opt for a lighter or a heavier knife, a Western or an Asian style or a metal or wood handle. Whatever the case, you'll have no trouble finding the forged chef's knife that is perfect for you in the Williams Sonoma knife collection. Here are just a few of the available options.

  • Shun Sora Chef's Knife - Featuring a traditional Japanese handle and blade shape, this knife offers razor-sharp cutting and a lightweight, easy-to-control feel.
  • Wüsthof Crafter 6" Chef's Knife - With brass rivets in a sturdy oak handle, this forged chef's knife is made of durable high-carbon steel using Wüsthof's Precision Edge Technology, which ensures a 20% sharper blade.
  • Wolf Gourmet Chef's Knife - This 8-inch, all-purpose knife from the makers of the iconic Wolf range is made using advanced laser technology that produces a razor-sharp blade. Comes with a lifetime guarantee.
  • Global Sai Chef's Knife - At once functional and beautiful, this unique knife has been hand-hammered to create hollow air pockets that reduce drag and make for smooth cuts.

Wrap it Up

If you're selecting a chef's knife from a wedding registry, but want to make the gift feel a bit more personal, consider pairing it with a complementary item. A beautiful wooden cutting board, for example, would make a logical companion gift. A knife sharpener would be another obvious and practical pairing. If you're looking for something a little more unexpected, a salad bowl for serving up all of that freshly chopped produce would be a great choice.
