Chicago Cutlery 1067823 Review: Insignia Steel 18-Piece Knife Set with In-Block SharpenerIf you’re looking for a fine-quality knife set on a budget, then this Chicago Cutlery set for $85 may satisfy your needs. The blades are forged from high carbon stainless steel, which runs from the tips to the tang. The handles are stainless steel as well, lending the knives a sleek, seamless look. With proper care—washing and drying by hand—these knives will stay looking polished and rust-free. The steak knives slice through tough meat effortlessly even without serrations, and all the other knives in the set perform whatever kitchen tasks you have in store. The knives come sharp and stay sharp, but for your convenience there’s a built-in sharpener in the wood block.
