Knife Set
What are the best knives? I am registering for our wedding and am looking for some people with experience. I love to cook and hate dull knives. Thanks so much!
Re: Knife Set
Oh this is the set I have:

My inlaws have the more expensive one and I like it too. I just couldn't afford it.

This is a pretty popular question on WC... My answer is always the same, don't by a knife set, buy individual knives that feel good in your hand.
Knives are like wands... the wand chooses the wizard... the knife chooses the cook.
I love my Wustoff chefs knife, but I have Victorinox bread knife and paring knives. I also found that I liked the Classic Wustoff better than some of their other lines. Each knife is waited differently. Henkles, Wustoff, Misono, Global are all good brands, you just need to see which size, shape and weight feels good in your hand.
Knife sets often come with so many knives that are not really needed. I think one or two good chef's knives are important, a bunch of paring knives both serrated and straight, bread knife and maybe a filet knife. Other than that.. you don't really need a lot of other knives.
I'm also not a huge fan of the traditional wooden knife blocks. I would use the magnet strip if I had room in my kitchen. There are other options that work well, and don't require purchasing a knife set.
Hope that's a bit helpful.
