Chicago Cutlery Insignia Steel 2-Piece Knife Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The santuko knife is the best knife I've ever owned. Of course this is because I cannot afford to spend $90 on a knife that I say this. If you want a good semi-precise knife set on a low budget this is pretty good. I do have to sharpen the santuko knife a lot but that is because I use it several times a day and sometimes on a glass cutting board. From what I understand that will dull a knife pretty quickly. Be careful,it's sharp, I've cut my fingers twice with this knife. The smaller knife is great for cutting open a bell pepper. Over all, I like this set. It's getting me though all the healthy home cooking I do. But I'll probably buy something a little higher quality in a couple of years.

Global G48338 3-Piece Hollow Ground Santoku Knife Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I did a lot of research before purchasing my first knife set. I'm a recent college grad and want to start collecting some quality kitchen equipment to last me a lifetime (hopefully). My initial tip on these kinves was from the book "Kitchen Confidential" by Anthony Bourdain - a great read if you are interested in exploring cooking and the restaurant world or "culinary underbelly" as I believe he calls it. Bourdain recommends Global knives in the book.

These knives are the sharpest I have ever used. They are also very light and a delight to hold - great craftsmanship. My mother kept a set of heavy German knives that were dull as rocks (I don't think she ever sharpened them, well maybe once a decade) and it was always frightful to use them growing up as I felt I'd cut my finger clear off trying to get a raw potato sliced (I loved making the mashed potatoes).

The three piece set gives you a lot of versatility. I've even *gasp* used these as an impromptu cardboard box cutter. One cool thing about this set is it includes a Santoku as the main chef's knife. According to Wikipedia, the "'granton edge' release pattern (scalloped) on the blades that not only adds style, but helps to release thin slices and sticky food after slicing." Cool.

Looking into sharpening options - suggestions welcome.

Thank you Amazon for the very timely delivery (it currently looks like they are on backorder or something, though).

Product Description:
Be prepared for most any prep task in the kitchen with a uniquely designed 3-piece knife set that includes a 7-inch hollow ground santoku, a 5-1/4-inch utility knife, and a 3-1/2-inch paring knife. Global knives are distinct in design and therefore function. Forged in Japan from CROMOVA 18 stainless steel, Global knives have a smooth contour and seamless construction. The lightweight knives reduce hand fatigue associated with repeated chopping and mincing, and handles are dimpled to provide a non-slip grip. Global uses a hollow handle filled with sand to create balance. Their thin and razor sharp blades allow cooks to cleanly slice through foods, preserving the integrity of the ingredient and maximizing its flavor. Blended from 18 percent chromium for good stain resistance, plus molybdenum and vanadium for excellent edge retention, Global knives are designed for long-term use. They are face-ground with a long taper, so edges remain sharp longer. As with all fine cutlery, hand washing is best for care.
What's in the Box? A 7-inch hollow ground santoku, a 5-1/4-inch utility knife, and a 3-1/2-inch paring knife.

J.A. Henckels International Fine Edge Pro 2-Piece Hollow Edge Santoku Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Great knives for the price of popular Henckels brand. Made with German steel and fabricated in China. I was surprised for the low price for this pair until I received them which is thinner than what I expected. I love this design where the blades have hollow spots which create air gaps, this make it easier to slice solid foods like cheese and hams. They do not stick as much as straight smooth steel blades. The 3-rivet hilt feels solid, smooth, and nicely detailed. Sharp.

(The word Santoku refers to a general-purpose knife that originated from Japan. It is a chef knife primarily used for dicing, slicing, and mincing; designed with the weights of the blade and the handle to be equally balanced.)
