Default Former Chef

As a former chef I've had great knives come from all sorts of places. The best knife I owned was actually one I got at a flea market for a couple dollars made in Germany! There's so many things to consider when purchasing but I think was most important was my personal handling and comfort with the knife. Fairly unique to each person and might be difficult when your buying a gift. Second of course is what type of warranty/guarantee is offered? The manufacturer should give clear maintenence instructions for cleaning, sharpening etc. A good quality knife would be backed up with a 100% (hassle free) replacement/repair guarantee by the manufacturer.

A good set of knives is an excellent and thoughtful gift that can last a very long time! That, and a good set of cooking pans!
