I'm in the market for a new set. I have $250-300 to spend. I have looked at Cold Steel and Wusthof.
What do you guys have in the block? Murph |

Look at Cutco. We've had them for about seven years and they are mt favorite knives. Keep their edge, well made, durable. Made in America too. I've had Chicago Cutlery, Wusthof Solingens, etc... but will stick with these now. We use them daily BTW, they don't sit in the block long. |

While cost should never be the measurement of quality, quality does not come cheaply. |
| Another vote for Shun. I've got 6 of the Ken Onions currently. I bought 2 by themselves and then got a sweet deal on 4 more from Woot. They aren't cheap, but they are awesome. I just sent two of them in for sharpening. Cost me 5 bucks for shiipping. I had them back within two weeks razor sharp. I use the hell out of them and once a year sharpening is plenty. |

Have you browsed the kitchen knife forum over at Bladeforums.com?

I have Victorinox. Very good steel. Takes and holds an edge and easily resharpens. I Would also recommend a smith brand 12" diamond coated sharpening "steel". You cant go wrong with any brand mentioned. Its all in what fits your hand and suits you. The Victornox's are consistantly rated as a "best buy" by Cooks Illustrated and other testers. You get a good quality blade at a very reasonable price. While I've got a hodgepodge of blades from various makers on the knife bar I am grabbing the ceramic blades more and more these days for paring and slicing work. |
