You can go out and buy a knife set or you can buy one piece by piece, it’s really up to you. If you buy a set, you get a whole lot of knives that you may or may not need, resulting in added expense for blades you probably will never use except by accident. If you buy one piece by piece, you can save yourself some more and only buy knives you actually need.
But what is the bare minimum set that you’ll want for most applications? They are:
- Paring knife
- Chef’s knife – Either a German-style chef’s knife or a Japanese-style santoku
- Bread knife
- Carving knife
- Shears
- Steel – for sharpening your knives
In addition to the knives, you’ll want a knife-storage unit in the form of a block, knife rack, a magnetic bar, or a knife roll.
That’s it!
