Most people who love to cook and are fairly proficient at it don't buy
knife sets. They buy individual knives based on the purpose. A
Granton slicer is different in purpose from a paring knife. Maybe you
want a Henckels slicer and a Wusthof paring knife. Or maybe you want
a paring knife from the supermarket and a Henckels bread knife. It
all depends on what feels right in your hand when you use it, and how
you use it.

Try some on and give your hubby a list of your favorites that he can
choose from.

Actually whether hand held or machine bread slicer the knife blades
are scalloped, not serrated.

Well if money is not an issue, definitely Wusthof-Trident or Henckels. I
have both and they are an absolute joy to cook with. The difference it
makes is impressive. Something as mundane as slicing fruit takes on a whole
new dimension when the knife feels like an extension of your hand and just
glides through the food.

"Serated" knives are very limited and you do have to sharpen them. No knife
will stay sharp forever. I use them only for breads. My advice is always
to get the best knives and have them professionally sharpened. For me that
is about 2 times a year. Dress up the blade with a good honing steel.
Properly cared for the WT or Henckels knives will last a lifetime.

Another poster mentioned sets. I like sets - so I have a set of each brand.
Expensive, but you're worth it.

A "good" knife is one that feels good in your hand and that is easily
worked. My wife and I may do the same job, the same way, but we each prefer
a different knife.

In general, you want a chef's knife, slicing knife, and a paring knife. In
our collection of knives, only three are from the same manufacturer, Gerber,
now out of the kitchen knife business. We have two Fury that we got
recently and my wife really loves them as they fit her hand well. One is the
7" East/West, the other is the 5".
http://www.furitechnics.com.au/products_pro_usa.html

My main users are a Gerber slicer, a no name 8" chef;s knife, and now the
Furi is getting a lot of use, as is their sharpener that I also bought.

Go to the store and try them.

I don't recommend sets, nor ever serrated other than a bread knife. You
basically will use 3 or 4 knives in most home settings. A Chef's knife or a
Santoku which basically do the same thing as a chef's knife. These are
generally in lengths from 7" up to 12" blade lengths. A paring knife 3 to 4
inch blade, utility knife 5" to 6" blade. Now if you eat a lot of bread or
if not a slicing knife. Many will server both uses. You will generally want
these in about 9" or longer.

As for brands which I don't like to recommend. I personally think the
Japanese build the best knives and Shuns are excellent but a bit expensive
in some cases and a cross between the Japanese and German/French knives in
style. For the German/French types some of the Wusthof, Henckels and
Messermeister lines are decent knives, but be careful as to which line you
buy as all are not the same quality even by the same manufacturer.

Hi Anne,

I agree with those who suggest purchasing individual knives rather
than a set. That way you get exactly what you like.

We bought a dozen inexpensive paring knives on sale. Use 'em as steak
knives as well as for cooking tasks.

We have two large chef's knives, one smaller version, and one smaller
sandoku or whatever it's called. I *HATE* the sandoku knife
(Kitchen-Aid brand, I just wanted to try one). Lack of control. It
always feels as though the knife is tilting to the left or right,
because the handle is too far above the plane of the cutting edge.

My favorite is a large chef's knife, dunno what the brand is, with a
fairly thin blade. Heavy enough not to bend, light enough to handle
easily. I use it instead of a serrated knife for slicing bread, as it
gives a cleaner cut with no crumbs. I sharpen frequently; love to
have my knives "scary sharp".

Best -- Terry

I've discovered that restaurant supply places are a great source of
knives and they usually cost a bit less there than at "general consumer"
stores.

I recently bought a 7" Santoku by Forschner for $59 and am loving it. I
decided on the Forschner after talking to a few sous chefs also in the
knives dept. They agreed it was a knife they loved for holding its edge
and its handling.

LOL.. It looked like it was spelled wrong, but hey, after dealing with
a two year old and a two month old all day, my brain was a little
fried!

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. Buying knives individually
makes sense. I live in a very small town in AZ and don't have the
option of just trotting over to the kitchen store to try out knives,
so that puts a kink it things.

I appreciate you taking the time to help me out.

That would. Two online sources I've been happy with are
pcd.com and excaliburcutlery.com. If you at least know
what kind of handle you like you'll be okay. I like the
Henckle's Four Star type of handle because I get a good
grip on them. That might no be true for you. Perhaps you
should buy one knife and see how you like that.

I would not be interested in serrated/scalloped knives aside
from the bread knife.

Closer to the holidays you might find free shipping.

Anne:

I haven't had much time to read rfc lately so I haven't followed this
thread, but I would recommend that you get online and ask for a catalog
from www.CookingEnthusiast.com.

This company is located in Connecticut and used to be called something
like "Cutlery Direct". Their catalog has expanded to all kinds of
cooking stuff but they are a very nice place to deal with. The catalog
describes the feel and style of all the knives they carry and you can
buy one or a set of any of them.

I have been very happy with their customer service and the time they
will take to talk with you on the phone (800-792-6650).

I have no connection other than being a satisfied customer.
