Best Knife Set

Posted by Mac Cutts on March 11, 2010

What is the best, quality kitchen Knife set on the Market today. What would a professional Chefs choice be?

As a Chef, I can tell you that there is no such thing. Just like there is no “best” set of pots and pans.

For knives and not being Specialty Knives, the bottom line is fully forged high carbon stainless steel. You want the metal from the blade to be thick at the top, and work it’s way right through the handle as one solid piece of steel. The thing to avoid in most cases is “stamped” knives. These are knives that are punched out of a sheet of metal, and the handle is mostly synthetic built around the tiny piece of steel that goes through it.

Forged Knives will last you a lifetime with proper care. Stamped knives will give you a good scar eventually.

German knives like Henkle are among the most popular. I would try an American brand like Lamson Sharpe.

Good Luck!
