Whatever the task, chances are this set has the knife you need. All the basics of chopping, peeling, and slicing are covered. A sharpening steel and storage block will keep your knives sharp, efficient, safe to use, and safely stored. This set offers a nice compromise in terms of price and quality.

Amazon.com Review

This seven-piece knife set from J.A. Henckels benefits from the company's 260 years in the cutlery business. Each knife is made from stamped, high-carbon, no-stain steel blades that have been ice-hardened, which results in a very long-lasting cutting edge. The set includes a 3-inch paring knife for cutting and paring fruits and vegetables, a 6-inch utility knife for slicing, an 8-inch carving knife for carving turkey or roast beef, an 8-inch chef's knife designed to rock on the cutting board for better slicing of fruits and vegetables, and an 8-inch bread knife. The set also includes a sharpening steel with its own slot in the solid hardwood knife block. The block has an additional three slots for adding knives as the need arises. Each knife has a full-length tang (meaning the metal blade continues all the way through to the end of the handle) that provides better balance and a stronger knife, and the Novadur plastic handles are unbreakable and impact- and acid-resistant and won't fade over time. These knives are dishwasher-safe, but be careful that the blade doesn't touch other objects; hand washing is recommended to keep steel blades scratch free. --Doree Armstrong
