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.

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.

Advice on Proposed Upgrades?

First thing to ditch are the Amazon basic stones ! Buy one good low grit stone instead like a Shapton pro 1000 or rockstar 500. Then keep the victorinox, buy a Tojiro classic 8 inch to go with it. Ditch the plastic cutting board and buy decent but cheap one made in beech. Seems like you have all you

Knife recommendations?

Never buy a set. Victorinox is my go to recommendation, but there are plenty of good brands. The knives you need are, chef knife (67 for 8 inch extra wide) serrated knife (62$) paring knife(8$) and a filet/boning knife (40$) Those 3 can do pretty much any task in the kitchen. So for under 200 bucks

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

Chef knife recommendations for my son

Victorinox fibrox the wide version if he has large knuckles for knuckle clearance. Either a 8 inch 20cm is generally good for home cooks or 10 inch 25cm is generally what I use in a commercial kitchen. Tell him to YouTube chef knife pinch grip. Have him learning that as of now. When gifting a knife
