Anthony Bourdain's Secret Kitchen Weapon Was His Knife

Chefs often cite knives as the most important kitchen tool, and it was no different for Anthony Bourdain. His secret weapon was his favorite knife: Global G-2 8-inch chef's knife.

A chef's knife is incredibly versatile and capable of handling almost any kitchen task, whether it be cutting chunks of meat, slicing fruit, or mincing delicate herbs.

Global's stainless steel knives, including the G-2, use a straight edge point. Its design and the use of molybdenum and vanadium metals allow the knife to stay sharper for longer.

Costing about $159 on Amazon, the Global G-2 is also lightweight, easy to control, and ergonomic for long chopping sessions. Plus, it has a dimpled texture to prevent slippage.
