"Le Chien" knife

 The 'Le Chien' knife is a jack of all trades: perfect for prepping or as a dinner knife. It has a serrated blade and a "full tang" (where the blade runs all the way through the handle) which makes it super strong and reliable. It's unbelievably sharp and made by Thiers Issard, a French knife maker since 1884. 

"Le Chien" has a kind of weird but excellent ornate handle - made from...er, brown plastic. Absolutely dishwasher safe by the way.

It'll be your best friend in your kitchen drawer, you mark my words.
