Put Your Knives to the Test Nothing sets you back in the kitchen like a dull knife. Here are some ways to tell if yours aren't cutting it, plus some knife upgrades.

Paper Test Carefully slice a sheet of paper down the middle by holding the paper's edge with one hand and your chef's knife in the other. A sharp knife will cut through cleanly without any snagging or tearing. The Trio of Knives Knife Didn't Pass the Test? GET AN UPGRADE

Tomato Test Grab a ripe tomato (before the season is over!) and try to slice it without any pressure. If your knife's edge is sharp, it'll slice the skin immediately. Squishing or sliding off the tomato? It's a dull one. The Serrated 6" Knife Knife Didn't Pass the Test? GET AN UPGRADE

Onion Test If you try to slice an onion but more liquid comes out instead of a clean cut piece, it might be time for a new knife. The 8" Knife Knife Didn't Pass the Test? GET AN UPGRADE

Keep Your Knives Sharp Use a magnetic wooden knife block for storage to keep all your knife tips in tip-top shape. SHOP THE STAND
