What knives are worth the extra buck? What price range is beyond stupid?
For one, Japanese knives should be made in Japan. My favorites in my drawer are a Miyabi Koh 8 inch chef knife, a Miyabi Kaizen II (gorgeous...), Toijro DP Damascus 7" Nakiri, a Shun and... a couple others. My analogy is Japanese knives are sports cars and German knives are fully loaded pickup truck

Chef Knives—where to start?
Wusthof is all you need. One santoku, one chef’s, one paring, one cheese, one bread. All I’ve got, all I need, use them every day, family of six, ten years strong. I just got a 5 inch Santoku for my six year old.

My mom wants a good, reliable set for Christmas. Steak knives aren't necessarily required but would be nice, but we'd like to keep it under $800 or so. Most of the stuff she makes is homemade. Protein, veggies, you name it. I'll add more context in comments!
Everyone will hype up Japanese knives and all these makers. Even budget j knives are to much and not what she needs. As a chef of 25 years who also sold knives on the side for shun and wusthof and smaller j knife makers through a bougie store get a wusthof block. https://www.williams-sonoma.com/prod

Looking for the best "Workhorse" Chef Knife under $110. What is the gold standard?
I like my Wusthof 8 inch chef knife. It has nice weight and feels sturdy. It's classic shape lets me do that pro-chef pinch grip with ease. Good steel holds an edge so you are not having to constantly strop it.

looking for a Japanese knife set with beautiful handles
Question. Why are you so fixated on getting a knife set? First not all but a lot of sets inflate their price with unorthodox knives that you would never need to use. Second not all but many knife sets are composed of cheap knives. These are a couple reasons why people say not to get a knife set. The

What knife do you guys use when chopping some hard stuff like giant pumpkins with very hard skin?
Wusthof Ikon chef knife. My dad gave me a set of Wusthof classics when I got into cooking in college and at the time I thought they were the nicest things in the world. I eventually got the Ikon and then stepped up my game tremendously into Japanese knives etc….but I still have a white handled 8 inc

What brand of knives would you fellas recommend
Depending on your needs, you really don’t need a knife “set” and you definitely shouldn’t get those sets in the knife block. They are usually not that great of quality and you end up not using most of the knives. I would recommend starting with one 8 inch long chef’s knife. It can be all purpose and

Do you have a favorite knife, and why ?
I forget I have other knives. I'll use the cheap paring knives on citrus if I'm just making cocktails, then throw it in the dishwasher. But my Wusthof 8-inch chef knife is precious.

Registry Knife Set
Generally speaking a Wusthof classic 8 inch chefs knife will do 95% of whatever you want. Most people never outgrow it.
