Anthony Bourdain seems to have the answers to all of life's questions. He knows we can't sustain food waste, that scotch tastes better on the rocks, and that Kobe beef sliders are the worst trend to ever exist.
But Bourdain's latest piece of advice is perhaps the most useful tip yet. At the premiere of his new documentary Wasted! The Story of Food Waste, he shared that the key ingredient to any kitchen is a good chef's knife—even if you're not an expert.
"As a starter chef knife, the Global is pretty good for a first-timer," says Bourdain.

Praised for its ability to slice through both tough vegetables and proteins, the lightweight, stainless steel G-2 is a Japanese knife made similarly to a Samurai sword. It also has a fine-tuned blade that's as sharp as Anthony Bourdain's wit. If it's good enough for Bourdain, it's good enough for us.
