The Tomato Test. A ripe tomato is the meanest test you can give a knife. The Strategist gave ours one, and it went through "like butter."

As seen in The Strategist. The Trio of Knives, $195. That buttery cut came from our 8" Knife, and it's the anchor of this set. The serrated and paring knives fill in everything else. Every blade is cryogenically tempered at -250°, which leaves the steel harder and sharper. SHOP THE TRIO OF KNIVES

Domino. The MK Free Board with fruit and a knife. The MK Free Board, $52. Our #1 bestseller, and where the tomato lands. A juice groove catches whatever runs, and the plant-based material, made in Finland, leaves behind no permanent microplastics. Domino gave it a badge. Your dishwasher gets it every night.
