Registering For Knives

Registering For Knives

Re: Registering For Knives

My stepfather is a chef and told me to order all knive separately...they are of higher qulity then??? I told him it would be easier for me to just register for the whole set and he flipped out.
I guess this is a big deal!!!!! HA!

Re: Registering For Knives

We registered for the block set... as well as seperate steak knives and a 2 piece carving set. Henckel's and Wusthof are great, not sure about OXO. But obviously there are different grades and types... It's about personal choice.

Re: Registering For Knives

This is the set we registered for. We liked the color & the size-not sure how much counter space our apt. will have!

Originally we intended on just registering for the block...but I've been hearing that you really only need 3 knives to start out with and you can build from there - depending on what you use and need.

Oxo was never in the mix until we registered at Crate and Barrel and saw that brand there. I've heard only great things about Wusthof and Henckels...just wanted to see if one was preferred over the other.

Re: Registering For Knives

I've used both Henckels and OXO knives. I like the Henckels better... one of the OXO blades bent, and the Henckels just seem sharper and sturdier to me.

Re: Registering For Knives

We got the big block of Henkels knives (it was like 500?) I heard that Wusthof knives are good too.. I love my Henkels though..

Re: Registering For Knives

My stepfather said starting out, you really only need one good butcher knife and a sharpening stick. and maybe a set of steak knifes. I know he has OXO.

Re: Registering For Knives

I registered for the block set, but some people have told me that no one will give us the knives because it is bad luck. I really want the knives!!

Re: Registering For Knives

Re: Registering For Knives

The whole block!

Re: Registering For Knives

I have the Henckels Professional S series. Love them! But pretty expensive - around $400 for the block set. Although I say a good set of knives are worth the money since they'll last you a while........

Re: Registering For Knives

I have the Henckles

Re: Registering For Knives

We have Wusthof and love them. When I used to work at a culinary school, my chef co-workers recommended I buy them over Henkels but it might just be personal preference

Re: Registering For Knives

i dunno much about knives, but i was told henckles are good, and the more lil men it has on it the better they are...(lil men meaning those lil stick figure ppl carved in on them) hope that makes sense

Re: Registering For Knives

For those who got the block...do you find yourself using all the knives or are there some that aren't necessary?

you made sense Bebalina!

Re: Registering For Knives

Thanks Jordan!

Re: Registering For Knives

In my opinion, you should register for knives seperatly. You should go for the feel of the knife, and some one said that you can build as you go, that you only really need three knives. That is true. I am from the culinary field, and knives are the most important tool in your kitchen. You can register for a block to put the knives in and then get a few really good knives. Even Henkels puts out low end knives, make sure you know the quality of what you are getting, not just a name! Good luck!

Re: Registering For Knives

Defintely register for Wustof. They are the best! We registered for the block set and also for individual steak knives.
