Best Kitchen Knives for the Money...?
 

Looking for recommendations on the kitchen knife set that won't break the bank. I have a few mixed knives we use but,bit is not a set and it looks funky in the block. She knows not to wash them in the dish washer already but, I think stainless would be preferable. Idk, what say you?

I am afraid of knives but I will ask my wife................:p

I've got two sets and have given away several others as gifts. They are excellent sets for the money.

We have a set of Henckle's we purchased almost 20 years ago. They still look almost brand new. I sharpen them from time to time--good knives. I don't recall how much we paid for them, but was just browsing the Net, and sets start at about $70.

Bought a set from Sam's Club several years ago.

Wolfgang Puck, and supposedly the knives were assembled in China of Solingen steel.

They're still in great shape, and hold an edge well.

I have a friend who bought a set before I did, and he still is using his, too.

We have Wusthof from Germany or some darn thing. Got them for a wedding present 12 years ago still work they day they are now. Super nice but have no idea the cost...

Go to a restaurant supply store. They will have pro knives at much lower prices.

Thanks for all the input guys, great choices.

Caleb, take a look at these, $99.95 Solingen German Steel! Ships Free!

A bit on the pricey side but Cutco knives are also very good. We have had a set for many years and we also have a very nice set of J.A. Henckels knives that we use daily!!:)

Pricey set

and "free" shipping, what a deal. :eek: Since the mid 1990s I have a cheap set of Chicago Cutlery, that I bought at KMart in Northern Virginia. I think that I paid around $29 for the set and block. :D They still take and keep an edge. I sharpen them occasionally and soak the handles (walnut) in olive oil. I don't imagine that I will be buying any $3000 sets off Amazon. :rolleyes:

I've got Chicago Cutlery as well. They arn't the best knives but they do take a good edge and hold it fairly well. The price is right, mine is a different set and I've had them several years.

Mine had wood handles as well but I use Mineral oil. Less likely to attract unwanted critters.
