I completely agree with the idea of building your own set. I have four Wusthoff Classic Ikon knives and I absolutely love them. Feel great in your hand, hold an edge very well, and they are built for quality.
Been rolling with a Chicago cutlery set for a while now. That and a worksharp sharpener can’t be beat for the money. Could afford more but can’t justify it.
I wouldn't touch a work sharp to my expensive kitchen knives. I would rather keep my "V" edge on them instead of a convex edge.
I just replaced my 15 yr old caphalons. I went with the wusthof urban farmer series. I bought em individually on ebay. Then purchased a wusthof block to match em. They came last week and man they are nice. Def no complaints. We re at that 15 yr mark w our stuff. Replaced caphalon pots and pans too. We went with all clad d5 stainless. Nice stuff also.

This 100%. Buy a knife block and start off with a good forged chefs knife. You can add as needed but a good chef knife will take care of most kitchen work. Wusthof is my favorite but all the brands above are top notch. Knives are another “buy once cry once” item.
I did the buy" once cry once" and bought the Shun Hiro SG2 8" chef knife. They had it reduced to $300 and you get a $30 gift card as well. I figured it would be a good start and build up my own collection. Thanks guys

The Ikons are awesome! We had a cheaper Wusthof set for years, and I’ve been slowly replacing them with the Ikons. I agree with build your own, you really don’t need that many.
Op, I see you’re in Granbury, go up to House of Blades in FW. They are always nice and really know their stuff. Definitely don’t mind spending a little more in a brick and mortar with those guys.
We have a set of cutco knifes as well as Rada knifes and honestly I like the Rada’s better and they were a whole lot cheaper. I will say the cutco set has a cheese knife that we use a lot, the best in the set. I also bought a cutco filet knife and it’s probably the best I’ve had.
I have a buddy that has a set of Dexters and they seem to be really good, I liked them a lot.
