I like the santoku knife as part of this set.. these three blades are super sharp and made really well. The serrated utility is a go to for my breads and tomatoes.
This starter set is not only a fantastic price, but comes with a santoku, or Japanese chef knife, ideal for chopping. Knives forged from German steel with a curved handle. Excellent value.
This starter pack has everything you need to cook. The knives are made with German Steel and have forged bolsters (the area where the blade meets the handle) This pack would make a nice housewarming gift for a student going off to college.
This is a great starter set, if you just a few of the essential knives. A little bit different assortment for a typical starter set, but still a great selection of essential blades. Great German stainless steel construction and handle, these knives are a great way to build a knife collection.
I love that this starter set includes a santoku knife instead of a traditional chef's knife. Your santoku is best for chopping and mincing tasks with the hollow edge divets on the blade helping to guide food up and off of the knife. And the 5" serrated knife is what every chef needs in the kitchen to tackle cheese, tomatoes, bagels (aka anything with a tough exterior and soft interior). This is one of the best starter sets the Zwilling family offers.
I do not cook much, and do not want a block on my counter. I thought a starter set would be my best bet. Most of them come with a chef knife. Being a santoku lover, I was thrilled to find this set with a santoku, serrated knife and paring knife. All are forged, good weight. Perfect for my needs.
