Amazon.com Review

Branching out from its already successful cookware line, Anolon’s Advanced collection features high-grade materials with substantial weight. This 8-piece set packs all the essentials including: an 8-inch chef knife, a 3-1/2-inch parer, a 9-inch bread knife, a 5-inch serrated utility knife, and a 6-inch utility knife. A 10-inch sharpener is included for daily honing and polishing the knife blades. The set also offers a pair of forged kitchen shears for cutting poultry or string. All pieces fit into a handsome bamboo block with labeled slots for each knife in the set and a few extra unlabeled slots for additions. Though the serrated blades (bread and utility knives) produce nice clean cuts, the other cutlery is slightly dull right out of the box. Immediate sharpening on a fine steel is recommended before using these knives to bring their edges to a sharper and safer angle for exact and injury-free cutting.

Advanced Collection knives feature blades forged from high-quality German carbon steel that resists rust and food stains. The stainless steel is ice-hardened for additional strength and longer edge retention. Blades are then polished with glass to produce an edge that is meant to be simultaneously sharp but smoother to the touch. Full tangs and counter balance caps provide superior balance, while rounded blade spines add more comfort during extended periods of prepping. Ergonomically-shaped handles with cushioned non-slip Santoprene padding offer a secure, comfortable grip--even when cutting with wet hands.

Anolon guarantees this cutlery under a lifetime limited warranty and, for proper maintenance, recommends hand washing and immediately drying knives. --Cristina Vaamonde
