The best knife set for every kitchen

A knife set is usually purchased when the current knives begin to show signs of aging and become less sharp due to frequent use. This doesn't necessarily apply to everyone: a good knife set is a smart investment because it saves time, provides organization, and ensures that you always have the right knife at hand.

Whether you're just starting out with cooking or you're an experienced home cook, a complete knife set is an indispensable part of the kitchen: a good knife set provides you with the most commonly used knives all at once. Generally, knife sets consist of a chef's knife, bread knife, carving knife, and paring knife. The set is usually supplemented with other types of knives (such as a vegetable knife or a santoku knife). But how exactly do you choose the best knife set?

What should you consider when choosing a new knife set?

At Koken en Wonen, you will find a wide range of knife sets and knife blocks, suitable for all types of chefs. With so many different options, it can be challenging to determine which knife set fully meets your needs and style. To help you, we have listed some important considerations:

  • Material: At Koken en Wonen, we offer knife sets made of stainless steel, steel, and carbon steel. Stainless steel is durable and low-maintenance, while (carbon) steel has the advantage of being a stronger material that stays sharp longer. However, a knife made of steel requires more attention when it comes to maintenance.
  • Number and type of knives: It is important to look at which knives are included in the set. A good basic knife set consists of a chef's knife, bread knife, carving knife, and paring knife. Depending on which knives you already have and which you are still missing, it is important to look at the composition of the set. The product page will specify which knives the set includes.
  • Knife block: In our webshop, you will find various knife sets that come with a beautiful knife block. A significant advantage of a knife block is that it provides a safe way to store multiple knives, so you always know where the knives are. Additionally, a knife block ensures that the knives remain well protected. Finally, a knife block, besides being extremely practical, is a very stylish addition to the kitchen. You will find, among other things, black and wooden knife blocks in our assortment.
  • Other properties: In addition to the above matters, it is also important to consider a number of other aspects. Think about the handle of the knife, the maintenance, and whether they are dishwasher safe. These features are all described on the product page.
