What to look before buying a kitchen knife set

Below is the checklist before buying a kitchen knife set.

Build vs set: There are so many full kitchen knife sets available in the market. However, if you are a kind of person who is a passionate chef with culinary skills, you might want to customize your knife set rather than the one already available. In the kitchen knife sets that are readily available in the market, there may be at least one knife that is not up to our expectation. So, to build a knife set of your own individually organizing each knife is an ideal option for an expert who knows about the knife skills. But, if you are a person who has minimal time and interest in cooking, go with knife set directly available in the market.

Set size: The size of the knife set is very important factor to consider while purchasing a set. First determine the number of knives you want to include in a set and then decide on types of knives to include. Your budget also plays an important role in deciding the size of knife set. If you want chef knife, bread knife, utility knife together of same material and size, go with this set and later add individual knives of your choice to this set.

Budget: It is important to know your budget before deciding on the knife set. In the market, we have so many varieties of knife sets available that you can get confused on what to buy. So, first decide on the budget and stick to it to get the best knife set within your expected budget.

Material: It is important to know the material of your knife blade and also the handle. There are different types of blade materials available. Some of them are stainless steel, ceramic, high carbon stainless steel, high carbon steel etc., Decide on the blade based on its life, rust factor, cleaning etc., Also, consider the material of the handle. Check if it is a non-slip handle or whether it can be washed with water or in dishwasher, etc.,

Storage: Many knife sets are coming along with storage in the market. It is important to secure your knives after every usage to keep them from accidental damages they cause and also from wearing down. Some of them are wooden, plastic, steel or glass blocks and others might have a magnetic strip. It is always better to buy a storage along with knife set.
