Is the Made In 3-piece set worth it?

If you mainly use a chef's knife and want forged French blades that sharpen easily, yes. You pay for three knives and a block, so compare it against buying the chef's knife alone if you rarely use bread or paring knives.

How does it compare with a bigger Made In set?

This set covers the three most-used blades. Larger Made In sets add a utility or steak knives; if you slice bread and trim vegetables often, three knives may be enough.

Do the knives need sharpening out of the box?

Most arrive sharp, but some buyers report uneven edges. Check each knife and hone lightly before first use if one drags.

An 8-inch chef's knife, a 9-inch bread knife, a 3.8-inch paring knife and a wooden magnetic knife block.

Are the knives dishwasher safe?

Hand wash and dry them. Dishwasher heat and detergent can dull the edge and wear the handles.

Where are the knives made?

They are crafted in Thiers, France, the town known as the birthplace of the chef's knife.

Our take on the Made In 3-Pc. Knife Block Set

A three-knife set from Made In, forged in Thiers, France: an 8-inch chef's knife, a 9-inch bread knife and a 3.8-inch paring knife, plus a wooden magnetic block. Each blade is full tang, forged from a single rod of stainless steel at 58+ Rockwell, with no bolster so the whole edge can be sharpened. It suits cooks who want three forged blades and a compact block rather than a large set with utility or steak knives.
