The vegetable knife has a mini zester on top, while the small chef’s knife has two cutouts for herb stripping. We found it slices through loaf after loaf without getting blunt – and that even goes for crusty white loaves with soft and airy middles. Bread knife: The long blade with a serrated edge is made to cut through loaves without tearing the bread or squashing it.

It comprises a utility knife, slicing knife, bread knife, paring knife and chef knife, providing added versatility for various food preparation tasks. Each knife is made using one piece of forged stainless steel, meaning there are no weak points that could compromise the strength of the blade. In fact, even after preparing a roast dinner for 16 people, our hands didn’t show signs of soreness and, as the blade is made from Damascus steel, it will see you through year after year of vegetable prep work. Key specs – Types included: 9cm paring knife, 22cm bread knife, 22cm carving knife, 20cm cook’s knife, 10.

For the serious cook, there are a plethora of other knives available, including a boning knife (for butchery), filleting knife (for preparing fish), cleaver (for chopping meat) and utility knife (a general-purpose knife with a serrated edge for cutting and trimming meat and larger vegetables). The curved, plastic handle makes them comfortable to use, and the blades have no problem slicing through even the toughest veggies such as squash. The block’s storage insert is reversible, allowing you to either display a pink or grey top, and because there are no set areas for each knife, they can be inserted and rearranged any way you like.While this makes for a rather unusual-looking blade, it barely changes the way they work – you can still cut, slice and dice as you normally would. If you’re a regular knife user, you’ll need to think about the weight, although for more occasional knife users that won’t be an issue. While we think it would benefit from one more medium-sized all-purpose knife, this is still a well-rounded set that’s certainly worth your money. Our guide will help you decipher these quandaries, so you can slice and dice effortlessly for years to come. If you’re not looking to splash out on a super-expensive knife set or just need something quickly, this is a great set for everyday tasks.
