Buying Guide: kitchen knives

Are you looking for a kitchen knife to start or to add to your collection? Or will you go with a knife set? The choice depends on your demands, budget and, of course, the knives you already own. One often goes with one all-round kitchen knife, to expand the collection later on. This way, you can spread out the purchase costs over time.

If you love a specific brand or collection, you can always decide to purchase a knife set. Also, purchasing a complete set is cheaper than purchasing individual knives over time. And you immediately own all knives you need for every cutting task.

It doesn't matter which route you take: in the end your kitchen will need more than one knife. Not only because there is a different knife for every specific task in the kitchen, but also because it means you don't have to clean your knives in between use. After all, you don't want to use the same knife to cut raw chicken and vegetables right?
