Glide Knife
Calling all chefs!!! I need help selecting knives!?
I will be starting culinary school soon. I would like to buy my first set of REAL cutlery. I want good quality stuff…the kind you see gliding through veggies and meats on the Food Network. I am willing to spend up to 350-500 dollars on a set. I need the basics…chef’s knife, boning knife, paring, bread, cleaver…at least. I want to still have these years from now. Please recommend a good cutlery set. Also, it must come in a handy travel case. Thanks in advance!
I should add that I am in Panama. My knives will be coming from the states. I don’t have the luxury of handling them before I buy them.
German and Japanese knives are traditionally the best you can get. Make sure that the metal runs from the blade, right through the handle and is in ONE piece.
My favourite is Wurstof Trident for their quality and the even weighting.
I suggest one of the following brands:
- Global
- Mundial
- Hinckel
- Wurstof Trident
- Shun
They will come each with a sheath, but you will need to go to a chef’s shop (check out catering equipment stores in the yellow pages) for a carry case.
Remember not to put them in your carry-on luggage as they will be confiscated by the airline.
