Knife advice
Don't buy a set. Buy an 8 inch Victorinox chefs knife and have change left over for a paring knife and boning knife. $200 is cheap for a set, and you'll have a whole bunch of cheap knives that will never get used, and a couple that will

Sweden: Looking for a durable chef’s kn’fe for my grandmother, budget 1,500 SEK/$157. Her current knives are dull and chipped. She has osteoporosis but good grip strength, so I want something balanced, controlled, not too heavy, and durable.
I'm happy with my Victorinox Fibrox 20 cm (8 inch) chef knife. And it's just 1/3 of your budget. Model number 5.2062.20

Durable chef’s knife for my grandmother — budget around $157
Victorinox Fibrox are fairly indestructible, easily in your budget, available worldwide, and while the handles are not pretty they are pretty grippy. Fairly light for a western knife as well. So I think the Pro Chef 8 inch would tick most of your boxes.

What does blade quality really mean?
No worries. I'd like to clarify that there's a lot that goes into the price of blades. Reallllly cheap blades could be made of lower quality (often softer) metals but also suffer from inconsistencies in heat treat meaning you never really know what hardness you're getting. Then you have middle of th

Is Wüsthof Classic a good pick for first set of "good" knives?
Buying a set is generally considered a waste of money by knife experts. All the advice I'm about to give comes from the book An Edge In The Kitchen by Chad Ward and from youtubers. Here are the knives you need. Get these in good quality and nothing else: 8in chef knife [$50-150] Serrated bread knife

🔪 Recommendation for Chef friend in Training. Something that will NOT hold them back/get in their way by ruining their cuts. Japanese *preference* (Nakiri, Gyuto, sth else?) not requirement - as long as it serves them build the foundation for their career. Either ONE amazing 🔪 or a set. Budget $600!
8 inch victorinox fibrox, ~$50 on amazon. Cheap ceramic honing rod $35, on the coarser grit 1200-2000 grit. Shapton pro 1000 grit ($40) with a cheap diamond plate to flatten the stone/heavy dull knife/repairs ~$20-40. I've posted the sharpening stuff from ChefKnivesToGo, can also find slightly che

Recommendations for a good knife/knives or whatever you use to cut up things...please?
I just use a cheap Victorinox chef's knife, like the 8-inch Fibrox. It's sharp, comfy, and won't break the bank if you ding it on the griddle edge.
