The knives with a following.

There’s a reason these knives are beloved by home chefs and professionals alike—actually, lots of reasons. For starters, every slicer is crafted in Japan from a single piece of the finest stainless steel. And then there’s that razor-like edge, with a sharpness you can really see: It’s ground steeply to a point from a quarter-inch up (not beveled like other blades are), so it’ll hold its edge for longer. They’ve all got trusty handles, too, since each one is weighted just-right for a comfortable hold and has an iconic dimpled pattern for extra grip.
