Saber F-11 Working Chef Knives with Chefs Knife Bag Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A friend of mine is a professional chef for an up-scale restaurant in downtown Seattle. He uses Saber Knives exclusively and claims they are by far the best on the market. I had no idea where to find a set; he got his through a chef supply place in New York. I've been checking on-line for some time now and then...finally Amazon has the same set he has. I bought a set immediately and they are fantastic! If you are serious about cooking and want the best in the kitchen, this Saber Knife Set will make you very happy.

Providing professional-grade cutlery at a price an apprentice can afford, this 12-piece knife set makes a smart choice for any busy kitchen. The set includes a 3-1/2-inch paring knife, a 4-1/2-inch paring knife, a 5-inch French boning knife, a 6-inch utility knife, a 7-inch Santoku, and an 8-inch bread knife, as well as an 8-inch slicer, an 8-inch chef knife, a 10-inch chef knife, a 10-inch ham knife, and a 10-inch sharpening steel to help keep the blades in good working order--plus a carrying bag to keep everything neatly contained. The knives come fully forged (not stamped or cast) from a single piece of proprietary German steel and go through a 38-step manufacturing process that includes heat treating and cryogenic freezing to ensure blade stability and maximum sharpness. Each knife also features a comfortable handle, a full tang with bolster for exceptional strength and superior balance, and a scalloped edge (granton edge) that creates fine air pockets between the blade and the food being cut to minimize drag and improve efficiency. Furthermore, the durably constructed chef's bag provides concealed magnetic inserts and polymer sheaths that hold up to 13 knives securely in place for safety and protection from damage when not in use. The bag also offers an accessory pouch for smaller kitchen tools, an industrial-grade zipper closure, and a padded carrying handle and shoulder strap for comfort when transporting. The 12-piece professional knife set measures 22 by 10 by 4 inches and carries a lifetime warranty.

Mercer Cutlery Genesis 6-Piece Knife Set with Tempered-Glass Block Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had the chance to try cutting with the Mercer's chef knife at a local kitchen store. Compared to the Wustof and Henckels knives, these Mercer knives are heftier with a bulkier hand grip. At first I did not like the bulkiness of the grip however I did like the weight difference. I would have purchased the knives locally, but the shop was unable to order this knife block set.
Now that I have been using these knives quiet a bit over the past week, it was definitely worth the purchase. I don't even notice the bulkier hand grip now (and it is only bulky by comparison to Wustof and Henckels). It is my understanding that these knives are commonly used by culinary students and I can understand why. This is a professional product for nearly half the price of other knives in this competition range. In order to keep the blades sharp, I also purchased the Mercer Genesis Collection 10-Inch Honing Steel.
One thing to be aware of with the glass knife block is that the knives are removed by pulling straight up. Of course this is obvious, but unlike other angled knife block sets, cabinet clearance may be an issue for some kitchens. I had not thought of this when originally ordering and at first was disappointed when I thought it would not be possible to store these knives on the counter under cabinetry. However, this is a very sturdy steel and glass knife block. I soon realized the block does not slide when tipped. So whenever I need to remove or return a knife to the block I simply lean it forward without trouble.
Regarding another reviewer's issue with the staining of the bread knife: I have cut bread numerous times so far and have had no issue with staining. I have also used it to cut tomatoes. As for the other knives, I have cut chicken, strawberries, peppers, carrots, garlic, etc. with no issue. I do hand wash the knives directly after use as recommended by the manufacturer.
Overall, I am very pleased with this set.
