What To Look For In A Good Knife Set

If it's a chef knife set you're after, we've got plenty for you to choose from. When choosing a knife set, here are some things to look out for:

• Does it come with a block? Knife blocks are a great way to store your kitchen knives, and they can also add a touch of natural warmth to your kitchen.
• Does it come with a honing rod? If you want to maintain your kitchen knives, honing them with a steel rod is a great way to start. Some knife blocks and knife sets come with these rods included.
• What are the blades made of? Stainless steel is the most common knife blade material, as it is stain and rust-resistant, but it doesn't sharpen well. Carbon steel is harder to maintain but sharpens better and will last longer than stainless steel if cared for properly.
