K so I am deciding which set of knives to buy at the moment. I know the immediate answer most people would give would be FORGED all the way, but these forshner-victorinox stamped knives look pretty interesting and got good reviews.
Here are the 2 sets I'm looking at:
FORGED: set ~ $125
http://www.amazon.com/Anolon-Advanc...1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1265955460&sr=1-1
they got unanimously great reviews on Amazon and other places on the web, dont know anyone personally that has them
STAMPED: set ~ $175
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...t_shr?_encoding=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&v=glance
http://www.amazon.com/Victorinox-Fibrox-8-Inch-Chefs-Knife/dp/B000638D32/ref=pd_sim_k_4
I would have to buy these piece by piece as they dont really sell them in a block set like the Anolon but I could build a comparable set to the forged for about $50 more. Has almost perfect reviews as well.
I am a knife noob. Does anyone have any advice to sway me one way or the other, what advantages over the other does each have? Does anyone have either of these specific sets? Please teach me about knives. If anyone has any other recommendations in the sub $200 range please feel free to speak up.
