To be frank, I find it impressive that Cuisinart is able to offer a fully forged knife at a price usually reserved only for stamped blades. Though not for the professional chef, Cuisinart’s cuisinart knife knives are easily the best you can get for under $20 a piece. It’s impressive how well they work given their price, making them a good choice for first-time knife buyers.
Although carbon blades are easy to sharpen and maintain their edge longer, they also discolor and can even rust so they need special attention. The addition of stainless steel makes blades easy to keep looking good with minimal upkeep. The knife block feels sturdy and we liked how it’s angled which makes it easier to see which tool you’re reaching for. The slot design on the block could use some tweaking, though.
Some of their knives, like the Advantage collection, have colorful ceramic-coated blades. Kitchen shears and sharpening rods are also popular additions.

If this assumption is true, Henckels knives are significantly sharper than Cuisinart knives. And due to the softness of Cuisinart’s steel, the edge will dull and require resharpening more often. Steel this soft will dull quickly, so be prepared and have a quality sharpener on hand if you go with Cuisinart. A blade that is too hard is prone to chipping and can break if it’s dropped since it lacks flex.
Whereas in a commercial setting, having dedicated areas for cutting meats, seafood, and vegetables will keep everything hygienic and be more efficient. Once more based on the Cuisinart Classic design, the Nitrogen series reimagines the gotham steel cookware sets handles for a more ergonomic grip. This is especially evident in the Nitrogen santcoku — a Japanese style knife that greatly benefits from the balance provided by a thicker handle. Many of the best knives aren’t even made of steel.
