The smaller sibling of our favorite 8-inch chef's knife, this model was especially popular with our 12- and 13-year-old testers. It's an excellent knife that's sized just right for them. Its blade is sharp, so it never surprised our testers by bouncing off food. Kids reported that it made “good, clean cuts” through fibrous celery and that they “liked the blade a lot.” It had a comfortable, grippy handle that made the children feel safe and in control.

Our kid testers liked our longtime favorite peeler for all the same reasons we love it. The sharp blade peeled each type of produce with ease; a kid tester described it as “a miracle.” The handle is flat and wide with rounded edges, and children found it easy and comfortable to hold. Due to the sharpness of the blade and how quickly it moves around food, we think this model is best for older kids who have prior cooking experience. As one 11-year-old tester said, “I am totally comfortable using it, but I have a lot of knife experience.”

Depending on the food being prepared, you will use different parts of the knife blade and different motions. Here are three basic motions to practice.
Small Items: Keep Tip Down
To cut small items, such as celery or scallions, push blade forward and down, using blade’s curve to guide middle of knife through food. Tip of blade should touch board at all times.
Mincing: Use Both Hands
To mince herbs and garlic, grip handle with one hand and rest fingers of other hand lightly on knife tip. This grip facilitates up-and-down rocking motion needed for mincing. To make sure food is evenly minced, pivot knife through pile of food as you work.
