Nice.

Looks pretty versatile.

Like a sushi and a french.

Had a baby.

Nice.

I was not really sure how she would like them, so I only got 'starter set'.

Turns out, she loves them, so now I need to start expanding the set. She already asked where the steak knives are...

I was looking to buy a larger block in order to expand the new set, and was disappointed to hear Wusthof USA manufactures all their blocks in China.

I am committed to buying American, or at least not buying anything made in China.

Does anyone know of a brand that is manufactured in America?

Knives maybe, but block; https://lamsonproducts.com/collections/storage/products/maple-knife-block-empty?variant=35508857422, made in China.

Anyway, found Warther. Made in Ohio. Ordered from them.

Thanks

Sorry misunderstood thought you meant knives.

Somewhat surprised their blocks come from China though.

My wife and I went with a somewhat budget set, but it seemed to have pretty good reviews. Brand is Emojoy...

I like them so far, but we have only had them a few days now. Time will tell.

I would love to get a top of the line set, but man... some of them can get outrageous.

alkhall · May 20, 2021

I believe I have a little over $1K in ours.

Gotta say I am jealous. We just needed something decent for our amateur cooking. I probably have closer to that much in my bushcraft / camping / pocket knives... But those have been collected over a few decades. As long as our kitchen knives can make short work of peppers, tomatoes, and other veggies, we are happy. Not to say I would turn down a set of hand forged Damascus blades... just not in the budget at the moment. hah

Pros do it more like you described , collecting over time.

Sets tends to be like the home tool kits aimed at new home owners.

Shows where my priorities lie. haha... We do have one fairly expensive kitchen knife that stays in its own little case in the cabinet... We do sushi a fair amount, and received a really nice sushi knife as a wedding gift. It cost more than the emojoy set we bought.

Ashen · May 25, 2021

As long as they do the job you need them to, its all good.

The most I have spent on a knife is $215 , the least is 10¢ at a second hand store.

There are things the 10¢ knife is better at than the expensive one

I am looking into expanding my knife collection. Sadly in MX only machetes and chinese "knives" (cut once, sharpen twice). Watching North, any opinion about the following guy/store (Burrfection)? Overrated, scam, fraud, good deal... ?
