- Is this set forged or stamped?
- The blades are stamped from stainless steel, not forged. That makes them lighter and thinner than forged German knives, which is the main reason they cost less than Wüsthof or Zwilling sets.
- Can the knives go in the dishwasher?
- No. Cuisinart specifies hand washing for this set. Dishwasher heat and detergent dull edges and can pit stainless steel over time.
- What knives are included?
- Twelve knives: chef's, santoku, bread, slicer, utility, paring and steak knives, plus kitchen scissors, a sharpener and the block.
- How does it compare with a Wüsthof or Zwilling set?
- Those sets use forged blades with better edge retention and heavier handles, but usually include fewer pieces at a similar tier. This set gives more knives and extras for the same kind of outlay.
- Is the santoku good for vegetables?
- Yes. The santoku has a fluted blade that helps food release, and owners single it out for slicing vegetables and boneless proteins.
- Do the steak knives have serrated edges?
- Yes, the steak knives are serrated, which suits cutting cooked meat at the table without tearing it.
