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

First knife set recommendations?
I would start with an 8 inch victorinox chef knife, and a cheap paring knife. The Victorinox will probably last for like 40 years.

Help for a beginner
This video shows some popular 1000 grit stones, along with the Chosera 400, and how they vary in scratch pattern and finished edge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7phkBKET0xI As far as knives, the Takamura SG2 170 Santoku is a great cutting ultra thin laser. This is kind of the bottom rung of premi

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

ISO Chef's knife
Victorinox 8-inch chef knife. Plastic handle for cheap or wood for a bit more money. Holds its edge, relatively easy to sharpen. I used various victorinox knives in pro kitchens for 40+ years.

Knife to learn sharpening
I looked at thrift stores and found nothing. I ordered a Victorinox fibrox 8 inch chef knife on sale. It has been a perfect practice knife, it gets real sharp, but does not stay that way long, so it has given me loads of practice. Bonus, I like it and use it, mostly as a beater cutting fruit for smo

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

🔪 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
