Victorinox Kitchen
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
