what's a cheap quality kitchen knife.
Victorinox chef's knife 8" or 10"
edit: didn't see the under $20 qualifier. looks like ~$45 on amazon currently. well worth that price imo
+1 for victorinox, until I got my current knife, I exclusively used these
Literally the top choice for beater chefs knife in kits around the world. My Henkles and Globals are nice knives but if Im splitting up a partly frozen whole chicken Im using the victorinox because it is made to be abused
On the same note, Victorinox peelers are fucking great and, at least in here, they cost like 14€ or so.
Nice. I need a new peeler soon and most of my best knives are Victorinox. Their paring knives are pretty well made as well.
If you've got an Asian market, look for "Kiwi" brand knives there. Usually sold in big bins without packaging (maybe a plastic sleeve if you're lucky). They're sharp, but they do wear so also grab a cheap pull-through sharpener
I personally really love my Babish Chef's knife. I generally avoid buying content creator merch, but all the reviews I read for the knife seemed overwhelming positive for the price point
