1. Cutting Board

Available in all sizes and materials, cutting boards take the brunt of any blade and provide a portable work surface. These essential handy rectangles of plastic or bamboo protect the tops of your counters and tables not only from blades, but from the blood of meat, and all the microbes that love it.

Note: Grab a few of these and designate one for veggies and fruits and another just for animal products. This helps to avoid the dreaded cross contamination.

2. Chef’s Knife

A chef’s knife serves as the go-to blade central to any collection. Combined with a serrated knife (for bread) and a paring knife, these form the triumvirate of knives every guy should own. Expect to drop at least a buck-fifty for a good one. Make sure it has a “full tang”, a riveted handle, and a high-carbon stainless steel razor-like blade.

Use it for everything: chopping all sorts of ingredients and cutting through whole poultry carcasses.
