Is this set good for a first kitchen?

Yes. It covers almost every common cutting job and includes steak knives and shears, so a new kitchen needs little else.

Are the knives forged or stamped?

They are stamped stainless steel with hollow handles. They are lighter and thinner than forged knives but fine for home cooking.

Can the knives go in the dishwasher?

No. Hand wash and dry them to protect the edges and handles, even though the steel resists rust.

What is included in the 15 pieces?

An 8-inch chef's knife, 8-inch bread knife, 7-inch santoku, 5.5-inch utility knife, 3.5-inch paring knife, six steak knives, shears, a sharpener and the block.

How does it compare with a forged German set?

A forged set will feel heavier and hold an edge longer, but it costs far more. This set gives a wider range of pieces for casual cooks.

Do the knives need sharpening out of the box?

Most arrive sharp enough to use. The included sharpener and regular honing keep them working between sharpenings.

About the Cuisinart 15-Piece Stainless Steel Hollow Handle Block Cutlery Set

A 15-piece kitchen knife set with a wooden block, stainless steel blades and hollow stainless handles. The lineup covers the everyday jobs: chef's, bread, santoku, utility, paring and six steak knives, plus kitchen shears and a sharpener. The hollow handles keep it lighter than full-tang forged knives, and the stamped blades are thinner than premium German knives. Owners rate it highly as a complete starter set that looks good on the counter.
