In an interview with CNN Underscored, Giada reveals that her go-to slicing tool is a Japanese santoku knife. "You want one that feels good in your hand," she says.
The Imarku Santoku Knife was crafted with comfort in mind. Its lightweight, ergonomic Pakkawood handle is smoother than actual wood (not to mention, easier to clean) and was designed to minimize wrist stress while offering a stable grip. The 2.5-millimeter blade is made of stainless steel that's rust-, corrosion- and discoloration-resistant; so as long as you keep it sharp, it should endure many a meal-prep session. Word to the wise: Skip the dishwasher and wash this knife (and, in my opinion, all knives) by hand to prolong its life.
One cool feature? Those little hollowed-out ovals lining the blade help prevent sticking, a boon when you're slicing watery onions and tomatoes.
This knife has more than made the cut for 3,600 Amazon customers, who were impressed enough to give the Imarku a perfect five-star rating.
"[It's] very comfortable to cut with for long periods," shared one satisfied shopper. "I cook a lot and have difficulties with cutting things ... for a long period of time, as it really hurts my wrists. I have not experienced this with these knives."
"This knife is incredibly sharp and has remained so after many uses over the past six months," wrote another happy home cook. "In fact, I have to concentrate fully when I'm cutting because this would do serious damage to your fingers. It's been washed many times and shows no signs of discoloration or oxidation. The blade is very secure in the handle. The handle is very comfortable and makes chopping a joy."
"After a decade of using the same knives we've had since college, I can't believe it took this long to upgrade!" exclaimed a third buyer. "This knife is so smooth, and the blade has a great balance. The handle is a good size for both genders to use (sometimes handles are too big for my smaller lady hands), and it's just beautiful to look at as well."
Because this blade is straight, rather than curved, one reviewer felt it wasn't as flexible as other types of knives. "I gave maneuverability four stars, only because a knife this shape could never have the maneuverability of, for example, a boning knife," they said. However, they also mentioned, "I had been using heavier Zwilling knives, and found that with my aging hands, I needed something lighter. I am pleased with this purchase because it is easy to hold and cuts well."
"The only con I have is that it is so sharp, it [might] be intimidating to the average user at first," wrote a final fan, "but after a couple of veggies, you adapt to the pressure [needed] to cut." They added, "When I use this knife, it feels like I am slicing through the seams of reality. It cuts through vegetables like they are non-existent. I thought it would cut through my cutting board, but alas, my cutting board survived the onslaught."
