My wife was wiping the counters and my knife block is front heavy. So apparently it fell over and my chefs knife fell out and onto the floor. I guess I am now in the market for a new Chefs knife. I use a rocking style cutting motion and this doesn’t rock anymore. I need a workhorse that looks good but can stand some abuse and won’t die if someone puts it into the dishwasher because it will happen. Since it's the most used knife in the house I don't mind getting something nice any suggestions are helpful.

Good knives don’t go into the dishwasher.

The Cen-Tex Smoker said:for what you do you need a beast. no shame in putting a work horse knife in the dishwasher after a 14 hours shift in front of the grocery cart. I would even look at the dexters and victorinox's of the world. get a fancy one for the house if you want but i totally agree that you should look at something that fits your life when you are doing the big cooks.XL, Small, Mini & Mini Max Green Egg, Shirley Fab Trailer, 6 gal and 2.5 gal Cajun Fryers, BlueStar 60" Range, 48" Lonestar Grillz Santa Maria, Alto Shaam 1200s, Gozney Dome, Gateway 55g Drum

I have used and recommended Victorinox for years. Why? Because they work and work well for breaking. And they are very affordable to boot. Even at my age and debilitated condition, I can kill, skin, gut and break a hog down to a primal state in under an hour with 2 simple Victorinox knives. A 5” skinner and a 5” curved, semi-flexible boning knife. Throw in a 8” or 10” breaking knife (scimitar) and I can easily reduce that time to 45 minutes flat.
On the same note, take a look at any slaughterhouse or abattoir and see what they are using. Dexter and Victorinox are used by 95% or more of them. The very same can be said of butcher shops.
With all that said and aside, if I had just half the money that most of the forum heavyweights have, I would probably have a few of the expensive knives myself. However they would be show pieces. When it came time to do the real work, I would break out the Victorinox.

Sounds like you need a new block. I have this beast. It’s not going anywhere. I love it.

Take ownership of one of the kitchen drawers; thats what I did. Green ones are the ones that go in the dishwasher. The wife is not allowed to touch the others. The Miyabi black is a joy to use and so beautiful!
