Considering all the professional equipment available to today’s home chef, a set of commercial-quality knives is a necessity. Cuisinart Professional Knives are crafted from premium German steel and honed to an ultra-sharp, precision V-Edge, identical to those preferred by world-class chefs. Our V-Edge is stronger, harder, and sharper than conventional knives, crafted to give the everyday chef a professional edge. Though they’re all priced within about $10 of each other, each Cookware Sets set is designed to appeal to a certain sort of cook. Let’s take a closer look at what makes each series unique, with notes on what cooking style each is best for. It is for 6 knives, and each has a blade protector.
Paring knives, steak knives, and kitchen shears round out the set, allowing you to choose the right tool for the task. Each knife handle is ergonomically designed for firm gripping and accuracy. Priced around $150, the Chicago Cutlery Fusion knife set is considerably more expensive than the Cuisinart set. The added cost gets you a few extra pieces, though, including eight steak knives and a 5-inch partoku knife. Like the Cuisinart, it also includes a chef’s knife, santoku knife, slicing knife, serrated knife, a sharpening steel, and a storage block. Many knife block sets will come will many other pieces that increase the price.
We were pretty turned off by this detail and it seemed to cheapen the otherwise high-end appearance. One of the largest options on the list, it has everything from a classic chef’s knife to a Japanese santoku to six steak knives. They are Cookware Sets all dishwasher safe and have a great price considering the hundreds of years of premium European craftsmanship to their name. The hammered finish of the Artisan series helps ingredients to slide off of your knife rather than stick to it.
These forged well-balanced knives aren’t as heavy as the Wusthof’s, which will make them more comfortable for some cooks. The only time the light weight is a bit of a disadvantage is when it comes to hacking through an acorn squash or a chicken leg.

To keep your Cuisinart knives at their sharpest, hand wash each one and use a Cuisinart knife sharpener periodically to hone the blades. The chef’s knife is the most versatile tool in our knife block sets, with its broad and sharp blade. It’s perfect for everything from chopping vegetables to slicing herbs. Our utility knives, known as the “sandwich knife,” also make light work out of cutting baguettes.
