Good deal shared by the wife (she's a staff member); had a quick google and looks like its the best price for a good quality brand.

  • Blades are made from Cromova 18 stainless steel to retain sharpness longer and to resist rust and stains
  • Knives are ice tempered, sharpened at a 15 angle, and hardened to Rockwell C56 to C58 for optimum sharpness and corrosion resistance
  • Dimpled pattern on the handles and the rounded spines allow for better grip and optimum knife control
This is part of Black Friday / Cyber Monday deals for 2021

  • Normally im not a fan of global for home users.

    Usually quite soft, but quality steel, designed to be struck often and kept nicely edged.

    But rockwell58 isnt too bad for a lazy home user.
    Hard enough to last a few months of 'home cooking' but soft enough to know its stainless, and unlikely to chip.

    I still think 2 knives (chef, and santoku) are all you need, unless you're doing presentation work: in which case id get messermeister or TitanForge; https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B07VM9V2QP/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt…

    but if you really need a 'block set', and like Global… not bad at all.

    • Thoughts on Furi for home?

        Probably mean Furi?
        They're "fine" but better exist, like my link above.

        They vary a LOT.
        Which specifically?

        Some are quite OK, some are rockwell52-54 and kmart knives would be an equal quality (as 52 is the hardness of the cheapest but most resistant stainless steel).

        Honestly.
        3 or 4 titanforge knives, and a magnetic strip, and you'd be a very happy home chef.

    • Honestly this is just a characteristic of Japanese knives in general. They generally make them softer, but sharper for longer than European knives such as Victorinox, Wustof, and Sabatier. It's just what you like. Some people like softer, sharper knives while others prefer the more solid (albeit also more brittle) European styles. Of course there's also a lot of overlap between the two styles in modern knives.

    Pretty weak price

    OOS but prices under $250 are not rare https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/666974

  • Buy 1 chef knife one smaller paring knife or a speed peeler, a long blade bread knife , a pestle and mortar, a box grater , a microplane , and that's probably all you will need for 99 percent of jobs

    Spend the money on the chef knife 24 cm is a great place to start go and pick them up to work out the one that will suit

    Victorinox are apprentice knives and cheap so they are a good place to start

    • I agree with all but the Chefs knife.
      For a home user who isn't speed chopping, a Santoku will be more universally handy.

      But they're similar in their uses, so this will be a preference thing.
      Fast and efficient vs slower and accurate. Neither is wrong, just a preference.
