The bst knives you can get actually have a handle made of two parts attached with rivets on the blades backpart. Of course you never really need one of those if you are not a pro chef and yours will do but it would be interesting to have one of those pro knives in comparison. I hope the tech stuff i wrote about the knife is understandable. Its kind of hard to write about such special things if you are not a native speaker.
This is a great set, I bought it a few years ago.. One tip I use, I put the knives in the block upside down, that way it doesn’t dull them as quick. Good job on the review.
Funny that you mention shun, they are quite good knives, but way overpriced, when I first became a chef I got a couple of shun knives as a gift and let me tell you the blade retention on them is awful, I needed to sharpen them every week, nowadays I have handmade knives.
ive had my 400 series for about a year and i couldnt be happier. i use my chef knife every day and its still sharp enough to kill a herd of zombies and then slice through a tomato
These knives are awesome. I own a set of them and I love them. I first bought my set when I moved into my apartment last December and I haven’t even had to sharpen them. It’s like a razor blade on a stick. Seriously. Just don’t stick them in the dishwasher or they will rust.
Those look like a really nice deal! I recently bought a set of Wusthof Gourmet series for my girlfriend and I sharpened them right out of the box as they did not seem sharp enough to me. I own a set of Zwilling Pro S knives and they are very solid and sharp but rather pricey! IMO the average home cook should stick with good German or American steel as it is easier to maintain. A good set of knives is going to cost between $175.00-$600.00+. Never put them in the dishwasher nor the sink!
Hey Jeff, don’t know if this is of any use but i always found my family’s set of knives going blunt in the wooden block , so to avoid the edge being ruined i’d always put them edge up running the spine along the bottom of the cut out for the blade so the knife retains its edge and doesn’t fold over like mine did but that might happen because of the higher grade steels cold steel uses, either that or get hold of a magnetic strip to go on the wall , looks cool and is the best way to store ’em!
it is $140 on amazon

BTW, great review and video!
A good steak can be tough. Its all about the flavor not the tenderness. There are many tough cuts of meat that when made correctly taste awesome
It is made in China Japan or Taiwan?
Hehe… Boning.
Dare I ask, are they machine washable?
shut up simon
09:24 I love getting into the tough spots when I’m boning. Looks like I need this knife set!
mothers day special. its 150 right now.
Protip, Store your knives in the block upside down, so that the blades never touch the wood.
They stay a lot sharper that way.
Put the knives in the block upside down and it’ll make sure the blades stay sharp.
once i move out and get my own place i want this set in my kitchen!
i would have liked a cleaver in the set but its a all around good set
Hey buddy was wondering if you have tried the no knead bread making yet?
Jeff go look on amazon they are 122 believe it or not
Great tip! I never thought of that! 😀
why not use the bread knife
For that price, I’d go for henkel’s
This set doesn’t come with a steel does it? Just noticed that on the email they sent me today, that’s not too cool for a kitchen set imho.
i am a chef and i have just the cooks knife it is ok but recommend global knifes
Wasn’t happy with all those serrations, I ended up with a nice set of Shun and never looked back….surgically sharp.

You take way too long to explain each one of the knives and you’re also extremely repetitive. You should redo your video.

If your insert the knives into the block with the cutting side up, they won’t dull when you take them in and out.
COME ON MAN
WHY YOU WASTING WATER BOTTLES

are the steak knifes rived? does the tang of the blade go to the end of the handle?
You’ve used these for a while now, how do these 4116 Kitchen Classics compare to the VG-1 K5 knife?
you were two years faster than me to say it :3
151.99 this year

Boning any kind of meat?

“cause when your really using this hard, and your really getting in there in to the tough spots when your boneing”
you use it really hard when you are boning
Plain edge on French bread=rage

You said what, “have you a lot”
