I’m looking for a “Quality “ set of kitchen knives for personal use. Have been searching the internet for a while but I am not all that knowledgeable when it comes to this topic.
Not interested in those sets with 15 to 20 knives, 5 to 7 kitchen use knives is what I’m looking for. Suggestions from those with experience would be greatly appreciated.
Cost is not the most important criteria but is always a consideration, quality is my highest priority. Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

We own a set of your huckleberry.
Cutco, Homemaker set. Made in the USA, guaranteed for life, free sharpening for life, ... but ... $1,000.00 a set (in 2011).

Hard to acquire? I check thrift stores religiously and want to watch out for them.

I have a set of 3 Porsche type 301 knives from back in my 911 days. You can find them online, around 100-200 each piece. Im no chef and Id say they work as good as any others but they do look great and feel good in the hand.

Love my Shun knives, have a set of 4 in a nice storage/display block.
Similar to this set, I bought the knives and block individually so I would have knives I actually use
https://shun.kaiusa.com/cla...arter-block-set.html
Also have a nice set of Wusthof steak knives, never tried their larger knives
https://www.wusthof.com/
Both companies are based in the two cities that are basically known as making the best cutlery in the world.

Another one for Cutco.
Sara grew up with her mom only having 2-3 cutco knives, but they lasted and were one of her mom's most cherished kitchen item. Sara had always wanted a couple of cutco knives.
Funny story... One day early in our relationship Sara was in the garage needing something and I told her to check the top of the tool box. She freaked out when she found two cutco knives. She couldn't understand how I had them and why I would have them in the tool box. I told her I sold them for a short time in college and that I keep all my sharp tools in the tool box... which she said not these anymore. I think if we had broken up, she would have kept them.
A few years back we purchased some additional cutco knives for her mom and Sara expanded our collection as well. Cutco is now banned from the garage...[This message has been edited by fieroguru (edited 12-20-2020).]

Rada knives made by the Amish in USA......I was up in Eastern Oregon to see the eclipse- and tour a Gold Dredge in Sumpter......I made a reservation 2 weeks before the eclipse- all lodging and been locked in for a year, but I happened to mention that I had always wanted to check out their Gold Dredge and the lady told me she had a "No frills room" for $20 a night.
The day before the eclipse they were selling some professional photos of the dredge and surrounding area, along with some knives...."Rada...Hmmm, must be some cheap Chinese knives....wait- Made in Usa....Where is that country located?"
They are well-made knives- available on Amazon.

are the Rada Amish made knives as good as the Amish heaters are?
(just askin for a friend)
Just joking too, as Rada knives seem to get good reviews and at a fraction of what the German knives cost and as you pointed out---- Made in America too  . Wustoff otoh, made a lot of knives for the Nazis including almost all the daggers for the early Nazi youth corps.

I'm way to old to be spending $1000 for some kitchen knives but willl ook into the Rada knives.[This message has been edited by maryjane (edited 12-20-2020).]
