They have a fabulous return policy/warrantee.</p> <p>OP, they do have some smaller sets as well that have the basics….something like this one that has the paring knife, chef knife, carving knives and spreader. Those are the ones that I use the most anyway. <a href="http://www.cutco.com/products/product.jsp?itemGroup=1845C" rel="nofollow">http://www.cutco.com/products/product.jsp?itemGroup=1845C</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/knife-set#post-213222 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 12:52:44 +0000 edelweiss 213222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>everyone has mentioned great knives! we have wusthof, which i like, and my sister has santoku which i really like. </p> <p>as an alternative to a whole knife set, some people buy individual knives that they use the most instead of the whole set to save money (unless, of course, you know you would use all the knives in the set!). most people just need a chef's knife, paring knife, and bread knife. </p> <p>before buying my last knife, i went to williams sonoma and bloomie's to try them out to see which ones i liked holding better. some knives are much heavier than others, and some have more of a cylindrical handle as opposed to a squared off one which could all affect comfort. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/knife-set#post-213218 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 12:41:55 +0000 Mrsbells 213218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone will look up all the suggestions </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/knife-set#post-213071 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 10:57:32 +0000 matador84 213071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with running elley...cutco! There are truly no better knives out there. I think you can try a set for a little while and if you don't like, just give them back to the company. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/knife-set#post-213066 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 10:54:42 +0000 yoursilverlining 213066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have (and love) Global knives. They are not cheap, but not too crazy pricey either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/knife-set#post-213036 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 10:33:40 +0000 autumnlove 213036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Henckels!

We got this for our wedding also! Loooove this set!

If you are looking for a la carte, I highly recommend this one for the value: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Victorinox-40520-Fibrox-8-Inch-Chefs/dp/B000638D32" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Victorinox-40520-Fibrox-8-Inch-Chefs/dp/B000638D32</a> I read a full review in Cook's Illustrated where they tested a bunch of knives under $100 and this one came out on top, for under $30. I have had it for about 7 years and it's still great.<br /> Our block set is from Zwilling J A Henckels and I'm very happy with them. I had one break, a total fluke thing, and they replaced it with a brand new one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/knife-set#post-212956 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 09:57:50 +0000 ninja 212956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a set made by J.A. Henckels that I love. It also has steak knives with it. It's not super cheap or super expensive. Middle of the road. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/knife-set#post-212945 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 09:53:13 +0000 LuLu Mom 212945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got this set for our wedding a year ago: <a href="http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/regProduct.asp?WRN=-951787290&#038;sku=16752665&#038;amp" rel="nofollow">http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/regProduct.asp?WRN=-951787290&#038;sku=16752665&#038;amp</a>; </p> <p>And it has worked out very well for us! We do use different steak knives, but otherwise the big ones work very well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/knife-set#post-212941 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 09:52:31 +0000 DillonLion 212941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Listening in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/knife-set#post-212938 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 09:51:30 +0000 Mrsbells 212938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can anyone recommend a good knife set.
