Buy the Henckels International Eversharp Pro 9-Piece Steak Knife Block Set for $49.99 (reg. $129.00). The first mistake cooking enthusiasts make is to buy high end cooking knives that require talented hands to remain sharp and clean. The maintenance required for "professional" cooking knives act as a burden to most owners. Anthony Bordain and other celebrity chefs recommend Japanese knives that are versatile, sharp, and made of stainless steel. The Henckels 9-Piece Steak Knife Block Set is Japan's finest and fits the bill. The price is also perfect.
