A great gift for the newlywed or college graduate setting up their first apartment, this eight-piece set contains almost every knife needed for most everyday uses, including a 3-1/2 inch paring knife for trimming, peeling, and dicing fruits and vegetables; a six-inch utility/boning knife for trimming fat, deboning chicken, and performing other delicate tasks; an eight-inch slicer to carve roast meats and poultry; and a 7-1/2-inch chef’s knife for all-purpose tasks from mincing garlic to chopping vegetables. Rounding out the set are four steak knives, indispensable for slicing and properly presenting everyone’s favorite cut of meat, an eight-inch sharpening steel, and an attractive hardwood storage block to store and protect the knives.

Chicago Cutlery’s Metropolitan line of knives makes an affordable introduction to high-quality kitchen cutlery. Stamped rather than forged for lighter weight and a more reasonable price, the blades are made from high-carbon stainless steel for rust and stain resistance and longer-lasting sharpness. Chicago’s exclusive Taper Grind edge produces impressively precise slices and retains its sharpness well over time; these knives will need to be re-sharpened regularly, but they take an edge beautifully and with regular maintenance can stay out-of-the-box sharp for years. A full tang extends from the tip of the knife to the end of the handle for improved balance and strength. Contoured, ergonomically designed polymer handles feature contemporary styling and are durable and non-porous, so they’re impervious to water and bacteria for increased food safety. Triple brass rivets secure the handle to the blade for extra stability. Chicago Cutlery covers their knives with a lifetime guarantee; they recommend hand-washing and drying for best result.--Mary Park
