If you grasp the chef knife as you should with
the thumb and forefinger on the blade just in front of the bolster, it

Some would say that if you need to do this, your knife is too long, or
too forward-weighted, or you need stronger wrists. Others disagree.

The best knife is the one that fits comfortably.

The only false statement on the subject is that there is a "best
knife" for everyone.

Easy! The best chef's knife in the world is....(drum roll)... the one I
picked for me to use!
