The knives are good, but they're not as good as what you're paying for. When you compare a Cutco 9" Chef's Knife to the Wustof 9" Chef's knife, they're priced exactly the same, but the Wusthof is significantly higher quality steel, and doesn't have a microserrated edge to make up for the lower-quality stamped steel.
I say this as someone who has a whole block full of Cutco knives. They're fine enough that I'm not going to get rid of them in place of another set, but if I knew what I know now I would have passed on them and purchased another brand instead.
I have a Wusthof Classic 9-inch and I absolutely love it.
I have had a couple of really sexy high-end Japanese knives, but they are not easy to sharpen. Most normal sharpening gadgets, including the Spyderco, can't accomodate the angle they use. Shun recommends sending them to their factory to have them sharpened. :P
Don't bother with a knife set. Get a big chef's knife and a flat paring knife. If you eat crusty bread buy a bread knife, but if you only eat soft bread don't bother, just use the chef's knife. Get some blade covers or a wall-mounted magnet bar to store them, so they don't clank against shit and get broken/dented/dulled.
People like the fibrox line as well for inexpensive good knives.
knives aren't banned BANNED banned. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to eat dinner or cook.
Will Kill You Good
Carrying such a thing around is a different story.
You can own a sword in the UK as long as it's for the purpose of collecting antiques or for certain sports.
Here's what I did recently. I bought one of these Victorinox Fibrox 20cm chefs knives (£22), one of these Fibrox paring knives (£3) and then spent the rest of my budget on this Wusthof Classic 22cm (£75).
My reasoning was that I have a quality chef's knife (the Wusthof) that will hopefully last for a long time. I also have a cheap but decent "beater" chefs knife (the fibrox) which I can use if I am chopping something where my skill level might not be good enough and there's a risk of me damaging the knife. The paring knife I will likely lose or leave it behind somewhere, so at £3 I really don't care that much.
For sharpening / honing - the Wusthof ceramic honing rod (about £30) and some wet stones (about £22) seem to do the trick, though I have a lot to learn about how to use both.
So for a total outlay of less than £150 I am pretty well covered for now.
I don't think a knife is ever a safe for work item. Congrats on the Cake day!
