What are the best cooking knives to buy?
I am looking to purchase a block of knives. The one I purchased a year ago (Calphalon) are horrible. The knives are getting rusty and they didnt keep thier sharpness. I need a good set of knives. I heard of Anolon and Henckels, but are they quality knives? Does anyone have any suggestions?

- Henckels or Wurstoff Trident
- cutco are the best. they are expensive, but you know the saying, you get what you pay for.
- Henkels = The finest Cutco = Best value
- The cutting Kind !! :)
- Cutco are very nice knives for the price.
- I prefer Chicago brand cutlery. I have had a set I got as a wedding gift (25 years ago) and they are still in good shape. As any brand of knives, I do have to sharpen them occasionally, but otherwise they have held up very well. I know they can be costly, but they are well worth it, in my opinion. They are not too heavy and are easy to work with. ((( I am a 'professional' cook/baker )))
- My hubby and son got me the Rachael Ray ones for xmas 4 yrs ago..They are made by Furi...I love them.They are still so sharp I have to be careful not to slice any fingers off..lol, no rust , still sharp and I love the handle..it's not plastic , it's more like hard rubber so even if wet it won't slip from fingers..I would recommend them to anyone.
- swiss army knife
- I have Furi knives. I've only had them a few years but they are still as sharp as when I got them.
- honestly...i am a chef for the past 13 years and i always buy the cheap knives but make sure i keep up to date with sharpening them...i would rather spend the money on other kitchen goodies, like a stand up mixer, or cuisinart or a mandolin..but german knives are good..whatever feels good in your hand and it depends on what your using it for..
- Shun - Japan, Wusthof- Germany, Henckels- Germany. The best knives in the world!!
- Cut co are the best knives. my mom bought some from my cousin because he sells them and they work great and their really sharp and expensive. my mom bought a knife that costed 108 dollars just for one.
- Henkels all the way...I have several of them and they are amazing to work with
