Purchase a good kitchen block set and you not only get a great deal, you also get a great place to store your knives. One of the best deals on the market today is Anolon Cutlery, with great sets that range from approximately 100 to 200 dollars. Buy one of the many sets Anolon has on offer and you won't be disappointed.

When it comes to knives, a kitchen block set is the way to go unless you need multiple copies of the same knife. Buying knives as a set gives you a couple benefits. For one, most sets come with a nice block that is ideal for storing knives in. Without this block, you're forced to throw your knives in a drawer or some type of container where they rub against each other. This causes the blades to chip and lose their edge much faster than blades that are kept separate from one another. In addition to the block, most sets usually throw in 4 to 8 steak knives as well.

While getting a block to store your knives in is nice, the biggest benefit to buying a set is the cost savings. When you buy a set, you get a significant discount from what it would cost you to buy each blade configuration individually. You can use the money you saved to buy other blade types that aren't included in the set, or you can save it and know you got the best deal possible.

One of the best deals on the market right now is Anolon Cutlery. Anolon has made quite a name for themselves in the kitchen cookware world and is now looking to do the same in the kitchen cutlery arena. From the looks of things, they are looking to build upon their reputation by offering sets of knives that complement their already-renowned cookware.

Whether you're a professional chef or someone looking for a set for your kitchen, you'll find that Anolon Cutlery has you covered. The blades are crafted from high-carbon Japanese stainless steel. The forged blade is heat-treated and then ice-hardened, which creates a strong blade that with great edge-retention. This ensures that the forged blade will stay sharp while holding rust and stains at bay. While no metal is impervious to rust or stains, Japanese stainless steel will last many years if taken care of properly. Keep your knives clean and dry, and your set could potentially last a lifetime.

All Anolon Cutlery comes with SureGrip handle technology. The soft SureGrip handles are much easier on your hands than hard plastic or wood handles, which makes a huge difference during a long day in the kitchen. They are designed to provide a sure grip, and are less prone to slippage than the handles of many of the other knives on the market. A counter-balance cap is added to the end of the handle to ensure optimal balance. The fact that the handles are perfectly balanced against the blade makes Anolon Cutlery a joy to use day in and day out.

Knives are an important kitchen utensil. Choosing a good knife set is critical, since they are something most home cooks use on an almost daily basis. Buy a good knife set, and you'll find yourself enjoying cooking. Buy a cheap set, and you'll likely dread the hours spent in the kitchen. The good news is there are quite a few good manufacturers out there, some of which sell quality cutlery sets for less than 0. Purchase a good set and you'll never have to replace them. Go too cheap and you might find yourself back on the market before you know it.

A good rule of thumb is to figure out how much you can afford, then go out and spend that much. Kitchen knives are one area where you really get what you pay for. I'm not advocating spending thousands of dollars on a set unless you can afford it, but you really need to get into the hundred to two hundred dollar range before you get real quality blades.

One thing to consider is that knives are less expensive when bought as sets. Find a set you can afford, then buy other knives to add to it as you can afford them. If you break or damage a blade, most manufacturers sell singles. The best thing about the sets is they come with a block. The block allows you to safely store your knives on the counter, keeping the blades away from each other. Nothing damages knives worse than throwing them in a drawer unprotected.

it has recently come to my attention that people have a tough time finding a good knife set in the 0 to 0 price range. The first manufacturer that come to mind when I think of this range is Anolon. Yes, the same Anolon that has made a name for themselves in the kitchen cookware arena. Anolon knives are quality knives with blades made of ice-hardened German steel. This is high-quality steel, and the blades are high-carbon stainless, which makes them stain resistant and able to hold and edge.

The best feature of Anolon knives is that they rarely need to be sharpened. They have a fine blade that is capable of holding its edge over time. Like any good set of knives, they will need to be sharpened occasionally, but they seem to hold their edge a little better than other cutlery in the same price range.

Another thing to take into consideration is that Anolon make their steak knives from the same high-quality steel. Some of the other manufacturers cut corners and go cheap on the steak knives, offering serrated edge blades that can't be sharpened. Anolon makes their steak knives with the same straight edge the rest of their knives have. This ensures you'll be able to sharpen them as needed to extend the life of your set.

Anolon knives feel good in your hand due to the SureGrip handles. They are ergonomically designed, and even include counter balance weights in the caps to ensure each knife is balanced correctly.
