My mother wants good set of kitchen knives for a Christmas present.

I don't know that much about them.  So I am turning to the hive mind.

Does anyone have any recommendations on a set of knives for chopping, cutting and general use?  Brand name is not important.  I just want them to stay sharp and durable.

Looking to spend about $50.00 to $120.00.

so if anyone has any ideas please let me know

Shun on amazon.



Edit: sorry didn't see you want a set.


Bed bath and beyond or kohls.

I would take all $120 and get 1 good knife. I own Cutco (no I don't sell them) and I love them.

Victorinox - the Swiss Army Knife people make affordable, decent quality kitchen knives.

Check Amazon or a local restaurant supply store.

A 5 piece set should be around $100, or maybe a little under.

Thanks again for all of the recommendations.

Whew; good thing. There are some hardcore knife snobs here who will tell you buying a "set" is a complete waste of time and money

I have cheaper knives that I simply sharpen when they need it...I think I paid $30 for the set of 4 and they work great
