Knife Set Question

[Mrs.ISUFan22]

So I'm having a Pampered Chef party next month and we need a good knife set. Pampered Chef has one but it's $400, granted I'm not paying that much (getting it for 60% off) but wanted to know if anyone has this and if its a good deal?

Is there a better knife set out there for cheaper, that's good and will last?

Cutco. Great product. Still use it daily.... still as sharp as day one.

-keep.

I've got an old but reliable set of Ginsu knives. Cuts through a nail, and still slices tomatos paper thin.

That's a big surprise. Does it cut through a Snuggie?

Seriously the Cutco knives we have are amazing.

the best meat carver, best meat trimmer, best chef's knife, best scissors and best hunting knife I have ever owned. bought them 93'ish? still in great shape.

-keep.

I agree with keepngoal that Cutco has a good product. I've had my set for 10+ years and it's still sharp. I doubt if a set would be cheaper than Pampered Chef, though. Another brand that I like the paring knife, is Rada Cutlery. Be warned that the dishwasher will darken it's silver handle.

I've looked at some of the suggestions here and there seem to be cheaper sets out there that look good. Thanks everyone!

A snuggie and a sham-wow, AT THE SAME TIME!

My suggestion is to make the leap for a better product, not a cheaper product ... one that will last forever.

I would agree with this on any product we were to discuss here. It's always better to step up with quality.

And Bubba, good news!

Go cutco, you'll never be disappointed. I'm with keep

I think that was her point, better product but less than this Pampered Chef stuff.

We have a mediocre set and want to get one that will last. Cost is an issue, but I have no problem forking over money for a good set.

Cutco...(vector marketing just googled it)...ha those the ones sold by door to door sales men? I remember taking an interview when I was like 17 with an opportunity to make big money. Basically sell to your family ask for 5 names and so on and so on. And you had to buy the knife set for like $175 bucks :biglaugh:...I passed but they did seem like good knives.

You'll have to take my word for it, but I'll record it and post to you tube later.
