Professional chef here, I just built a set for my best friend and his girlfriend the other day. These are all quality and all you need. You don’t need to buy a knife block set as they’re not worth the money. https://www.japaneseknifeimports.com/products/gesshin-stainless-set-150mm-and-210mm?variant=40702739742781 https://a.co/d/0aZXQMg4 https://a.co/d/0bG8kDHf
I just got this one off Amazon recently and it’s given me the cleanest slices I’ve had since I started. There may be better bread knives out there but this one is pretty good especially for the price. https://a.co/d/07QlQweO
Stainless steel ✓Wa handle ✓210mm Gyuto ✓Hammered for food release - the finish of knives usually has much less to do with food release than the grind of the knives. If you want a hammered texture because of the aesthetic, that's fine, just know that it doesn't necessarily help in that regard. Bread knife - Mercer $20~Pairing - Mac $60~Option 1 Gyuto - Tsunehisa $165Option 2 Gyuto - Tojiro $149Option 3 Gyuto - Hatsukokoro $125
The big answer.. never buy a set. Buy the specific knives you'll use, starting with the core: chef's, paring/petty, bread.Knives are personal, you have to feel them yourself for what works... type, size, shape, weight. We can't answer that for you.Go to a store and try some. Chefs is where to spend the money, its your workhorse.The big question is do you prefer japanese or western style.Japanese go with a brand like Mac, you can get a nice chef/paring set here that often goes on sale for $200.If you like western, go with Messermeister. Wustoff/Henkels/Global are all marketting, you can get better for the price. Paring/petty you don't need pricey, just get one thats comfortable in your hand. Petty is a little bigger, so see if thats more useful to you than a paring. Bread. this Mercer is one of the best you can get, and its $16. There is zero reason to get an expensive bread knife. Victorinox and Mercer in general make excellent quality knives ont he budget end. They're great if you don't want to spend much, or try different knives. Steak knives are fun, but not required. I almost never use cause its just easier to slice up the whole steak on a cutting board before serving. They're not meant to do lots of tasks, so its mostly a convenience knife, meant to look nice on the table. But I'm going to say it again... don't blindly listen to people on the internet. Go to a store and handle some. A good kitchen store will carry a good supply of different knives.They may not carry all the brands, but it gives you a good sample of each. Mac is not usually in most stores, but try Shun or Miyabi for a sample of japanese style.
Oh dear! What does it slice well? A lot of people recommend this Mercer knife or the offset handle version:https://a.co/d/0iochdtB I have a Bow knife I received a couple of christmases ago and am quite happy with that. In a few years when the blades give out I’ll try a Mercer knife if I can find it locally.
No joke! A bread knife blade is beveled only on one side, so this has the bevel on the other side. I got mine from Amazon, and it's amazing to actually cut through crusty bread. https://a.co/d/6dJwWSj
