best kitchen knives set?
I am looking for a good knives set at a good price. Any suggestions? i see couple of brands in amazon: Ginsu, Victorinox, JA Henckels etccc… I dont need steak knives..
Thanks,
Raj
I would suggest not to buy a set. in 99.99% of the cases you will end up with more than one knife that you’d never use. Or knives with very similar designation. Either way, you’re paying for something you don’t need.
The minimum set which covers 99% of home cutting is:
3-4″ paring/peeling knife;
6-12″ chef’s knife
8-12in serrated bread slicer.
After that you can add boning knife if you work with bony meat, poultry. BTW, boning knives are not the same as meat cleavers, i.e. not designed to chop through the bones, but to work around them.
Don’t believe all the marketing BS that good kitchen knives have to be forged, and have full bolster and tang. None of that is true. E.g. Stamped Globals are much better performers than most of the forged mainstream kitchen knives. katana swords and bowie knives are not full tang, yet they can cut through armor and leather, so I really doubt you need more strength than that. Bolsters make sense only on narrow boning knives to protect your hand from slippage, but on other wider knives blade choil area does the job, bolster just makes sharpening a nightmare.
Avoid both, Cutco and Furi knives. Both are real junk metal knives, except one is really outrageously priced, Cutco. Both have rusting issues, can’t hold the edge worth a dime and both have very misleading marketing.
Forschner knives will be your best bet. They’re made of the same X50CrMoV15 steel. hardened to the same 54-56HRC as Wusthofs and Henckels and many other mainstream kitchen knives, but cost half the price or even less.
Alternatively, you could look into Japanese kitchen knives, but those are much harder blades, which means both, longer lasting, thinner sharp edges and more difficult sharpening

When choosing kitchen knives, there are several things to consider before making your final choice. Each aspect is as important as the others and all should be taken into account.
A good grip is vital
A good comfortable grip is very important, after all knives are sharp and you could injure yourself quite badly if the grip was not good enough. The knife handle should be shaped so that it sits securely and comfortably in your hand. What the handle is made of depends upon the type of knife and also the cost, but remember, handles made of plastic can be slippery, wood can be breakable if not properly cared for and metal can be unwieldy.
Types of blades
The blade can be made from several different materials too, however, stainless steel remains a popular favourite and with good reason. High quality stainless steel, particularly Sheffield steel, is robust and long lasting when cared for properly. Carbon steel is a softer metal than stainless steel and is easily sharpened, the downside being that it also blunts easily. Ceramic blades require a special diamond stone for sharpening. However, they remain sharp for longer than steel and are rust and stain proof. There are two choices for the blade edge, serrated or straight. Serrated edges don’t usually require sharpening but often don’t have that ‘clean’ cutting action. Bread knives normally have a serrated edge and serrated edges are particularly good for cutting tomatoes etc.
Different knives for different jobs
There are different knives for different jobs and it is advisable to use a specific knife for the task in hand. For instance, it would be no use to try and carve your joint of meat with a paring knife and similarly it would be inadvisable to use a bread knife to chop your vegetables.
Kitchen knife sets
The solution is simple of course, as you can purchase sets of kitchen knives, these generally come in a knife block or a case and some are also equipped with their own sharpening device. These sets will have a selection of knives for specific tasks, giving you a range of suitable knives for your cooking. A definite bonus with these sets is that your knives will be kept safely in their own proper storage place and this will help keep them sharp. At the very least, make sure your set includes a chef’s knife, a bread knife, a paring knife, a utility knife and a slicing or carving knife. This will give you a suitable implement for most of your cooking tasks and after all, as you will spend a good deal of your time preparing food, you might as well have proper tools for the job.
Handle before buying
When choosing kitchen knives, handle them, pick them up and hold them in your hand, get a feel for what they will be like to work with. Make sure the tang (the part of the blade that is embedded in the handle) goes all the way into the handle and that the knife is balanced.
Finally, try to buy the best quality that you can afford, the knives will last longer and hopefully, give you many years of happy cooking.
