It is stamped. I will pass. In my experience, their stamped knives are really only commanding that price for the name. You can get similar quality stamped knives at this price normally.

This company doesn't allow honest reviews of their products. The quality is sub par and doing anything other than praising them on their reviews will get blocked. Never buy from these people. Terrible company, terrible customer service. Never again

It's not about "Indian" steel. It's that most consumer product companies make their cheaper and inferior product lines in China, India or other low cost countries while keeping the higher end products in "fancy" countries. The result is what they asked for, cheaper and lower quality products. It has nothing to do with the capability of India or China.

Apple is the primary exception to the rule with their highest end products made in China. Which shows it's not about the country manufacturing but the choice the consumer brand makes.

None, really. This falls between a chef's knife/santoku and a paring knife, so it's kind of a jack of all trades, master of none situation. If you're just starting out get yourself a quality chef or santoku knife and one of those $8 Victorinox paring knives that everybody swears by and you'll be good to go. You can pick up any other knives you might need as you go.
Link for the $8 Victorinox paring knives please ?

I just got into cooking. What special benefit does a prep knife compared to a chef's knife or a santoku?
The only advantage I see for this knife is it's smaller. My wife thinks 8" blades are too large. My young kids don't really have good control over an 8" blade, either. This is basically a smaller chefs knife and they would probably do better with a knife like this.

The pointed tip might also help with some precision cutting tasks vs a santoku. Though I think I would just as soon use a paring knife I already own instead.

Not sure what this particular knife steel is but the price seems pretty decent. Amazing how expensive the Victorinox knives have gotten.

Don't bother with a prep knife. Get a good 8" chef knife. 30+ years of cooking and never needed one. A paring knife for small delicate work like removing silver skin is nice. If you buy whole bread or bake your own get a good bread knife. A cleaver if you want to chop through bones. Bones WILL DAMAGE your knife. Finally get a knife sharpener, something with multi stage and ceramic rods to hone. the knife will get dull eventually no matter how good the steel. I use the ceramic rods before I start using the knife daily. Been using the same chef knife with a riveted wooden handle for 22 years. I think it was a farberware professional made in China with mystery steel. The knife has been used so much the markings have been worn off except for the made in China stamping.

I my household the 5-6" utility / petty knives are the single most frequently used and so we have a few different ones. The shorter blade makes them way more maneuverable and comfortable to use for most cutting tasks. The 2nd most used is the 7" santoku, The 8" chefs is used the least (I mean aside from specialty knives like a bread knife or slicer). In our house, we could probably do without the 8" chef entirely, we much prefer the santoku for the longer knife.

A lot of it boils down to preferences though as well as what types of things you are cutting.

If you are just starting out though, I'd recommend starting with basic beaters of those 3 lengths of knives (or even a cheap knife block set) and sort of go from there and see what you lean towards using the most. With knife sets, you end up not using half the knives there at all though or only very rarely unless you are really diverse with your cutting and needs.

I am a knife collector, trader and I buy and sell hundreds of knives in a year.
I would prefer a used German made Henckels from eBay over the modern Henckel knives that have the same price and are not made in Germany. You can get a used 5 inch 4 star chef knife for about $25 and it will serve you far better then this stamped knife, or a box store Henckel set
Henckel still makes good knives but only in their high end line of knives .

This is the comparable item from manufacturer. Up to you if you believe the branding, but this one being made in Germany could mean better quality than being made in India...

You grossly underestimate the quality of Indian steel. Have a read.

Dont have this specific knife but several others in this line. Bought the set as our "starter set". That was about 11 years ago. I self sharpen every few weeks and they are still going strong. I find smaller knives are better for more precise cuts like when dicing a tomato. Sometimes a big chefs knife is too much.

I ordered a set of them. Right on the box it said dish washer safe.. so before using them I ran them through the light cycle as it indicated on the box it was safe.. well next morning I look at them several of them now have rust (I never even used the darn things) they sent a flyer in the box to register and leave a review.. I left and honest review of what occurred and they "moderated" it that it didn't meet their guidelines.. I wasn't even asking for my money back or new ones anything.. just leaving honest feedback that if they're not dish washer safe then that should be removed from the packaging.. the fact the company would do such a thing and not try to make it right is just shocking to me as I paid decent money for them. Next time I'll will be going with a different brand. Best of luck to you if you decide to go with them. Cheers
That's really helpful.

I hate to hijack the thread, but can one of you pros recommend a decent sharpening solution for my kitchen knives? For a $100 budget, is it worth it to get a Workpro belt sharpener or is there a stone kit that you recommend that will have everything I need?
