Quality Kitchen Knives?!


Question: Quality Kitchen Knives!?
I'm looking for a set of kitchen knives to replace the cheap ones I currently use!. I've never bought a set of knives and I'm not sure what to look for or any brands that are good/bad!. I don't have a huge budget but I would still like some knives that will last for a while, any help is appreciated!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
I am a former chef and have over 40 in my toolbox, I was a chef in 4 country's for 20+ years and I would recommend a set, Henkels, Victorinox, Wurstof or Global, but in a pinch the US Gerber ones are very nice!.

Buy what you need and then add to your collection, a piece at a time, like pots and pans, alot depends on your needs and what your using them for, most sets give you a good selection go with that for the early purchase!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Henkles are great but pricey!. They will be knives that you hand down!. Rachel Ray has a nice little set of knives though that are reasonably priced and have a nice grip and weighted handle!. You could buy a set for what you'd pay for one premium knife!.
You can get them at JC Penny's or other nice department stores!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

visit your department stores Sears Penney's
but look at some to get an idea of what to expect!.!.
