I’m looking for a set of Chef’s knives as I am about to graduate from culinary school. The knives are going to be a gift from my G/F and Mom… I’m looking at the Kasumi Titanium Knives that Chef Robert Irvine uses or the Global knives. Also what would be the best place to get them.
Thanks!
Congratulations! It is a matter of personal preference. These are the tools of your trade. You have to work with them. Variety vs a complete set may be a consideration. The Kasumi knives are light weight and double edged vs Solingen or Chicago Cutlery which have more heft and for some – more control. Single edged / broader / flatter have their applications. Bulkier handles vs slim. Starting out a complete set may be the route to take – you will add to it later. Shopping at reputable restaurant supply stores would be the best. Ofcourse once you actually start working you will have input from coworkers on their best deals.
