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.

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

Best knives for a amateur cook

Victorinox Fibrox are good. Ergonomic handle. Nearly indestructible. Easy to sharpen. Specifically, probably the most recommended knife is the Victorinox 8 inch 21cm Chef’s knife. Although some might prefer a Santoku, which they also offer.
