Quality starter set
It's a really lovely thing that you want to spend that much on your son and towards something that he will use. My only advice would be maybe not spend it on knives. I mean don't get me worng some knives are very expensive but without using or at the very least having holding them in person you coul

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 Reviews and Ranks Amazon's Best Rated Chef Knives
I've got a few Mercer knives and I was getting kind of offended on my own knives' behalf. The one they picked, while totally valid pick as a very high-rated Amazon one, is a bit of a strange shape by chef knife standards, so it's little wonder it was a bit questionable in this comparison. The Mercer

Help me replace this knife (non expert)
Damn. That knife has seen some things. You need something that can take a beating. I’d stay away from Japanese knives. Looks like a 6 inch blade on that. I’d go wusthof classic ikon 6 inch chef knife. The bolsterless design of the ikon is easier for sharpening. They also just dropped some sweet colo

Worth upgrading from Victorinox to a nicer knife?
For anyone who upgraded from a Victorinox (Wüsthof, MAC, Shun, Japanese stuff, etc.) — did you feel a noticeable improvement? Or is Victorinox already good enough for 90% of people and the upgrade is more of a luxury thing? I mean, both? Especially if you venture into the more expensive knives it be

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

Kitchen Must-Haves
I'm not a professional chef but my ex husband is and I love to cook! Here are my recommendations for a dream kitchen setup and things I use almost daily: A really good chef's knife (6-7 inch blade) or knife set - I'm a fan of Wusthof but Shun or Henckels are also good. Get a set that you can sharpen

Thought the big hunk of beef was thawed, it was not 😬
Short cleavers don't work well on big pieces of meat. Unless you are going to hack your way through which makes for ugly meat. I have a 12-inch Wusthof chef knife I use. It is thicker so it performs better when the cutting gets tough. It still needs to be mostly thawed. A long butcher knife will wor
