Unpopular opinion: The 'BIFL' mindset is becoming a luxury most people can't afford, and that's by design.
I have a Victorinox pairing knife, a beautiful Miyabi chef’s knife, and a $30 Chinese cleaver I bought on Amazon five years ago. The Victorinox and Miyabi are definitely sharper, but in terms of day to day I actually use my cleaver the most and it works just as well as the first day (with some very occasional sharpening). There sure are bad knifes out there but I feel like knives are generally a pretty durable category of products.

Little luxuries or upgrades that you made this year that makes your everyday better?
KEF speakers, Myobi santuko knife, Bifkenstock Naples and Samuel Hubbard shoes. Add a couple new pair of Vuori pants and I am a happy camper.

What is the best kitchen gadget under $100 that you own?
Miyabi Kaizen. Has stayed sharp AF with just an occasional pass through the cheapy knife sharpener that I got at a grocery store.

I’ve gone through three cheap blenders and they all died within 2 years!What’s the most BIFL blender out there that can actually crush ice and last decades?
Holy cow I just bought a very cheap, not having the metal go all the way through the handle, plastic, Victorinox serrated knife to use exclusively for tomatoes and that thing is sharp as ****. It's just amazing. We'll see how long it lasts, but it's never going through anything tougher than sandwich bread or tomatoes so I have my hopes up. It was only $13. (My go-to *BIFL* knives are Miyabi from Japan, which are great -- kitchen knife is going on 20 years now.)

What brands do you trust to always deliver a high quality product?
For kitchenware, I’ve started buying exclusively from the Zwilling group of brands- Zwilling, Henkels, Staub, Miyabi. Quality is incredible. Price is slightly premium but they always have great sales. And one time I took apart the filter basket on my coffee to do a deep cleaning and accidentally dropped a spring and small rubber gasket down the sink. Stopped by the Zwilling store and asked if it was possible to order those pieces, and they just opened up a brand new one in the store and pulled out the filter basket and handed it to me, no questions asked.
