chris420huff asked:

I will be starting culinary school soon. I would like to buy my first set of REAL cutlery. I want good quality stuff…the kind you see gliding through veggies and meats on the Food Network. I am willing to spend up to 350-500 dollars on a set. I need the basics…chef’s knife, boning knife, paring, bread, cleaver…at least. I want to still have these years from now. Please recommend a good cutlery set. Also, it must come in a handy travel case. Thanks in advance!
I should add that I am in Panama. My knives will be coming from the states. I don’t have the luxury of handling them before I buy them.

I bought them from a sales person that came to my office. They only come by every once in a while and never bring the same thing twice. Does anyone know how I can contact anyone who works this way?

Caleigh asked:

I really want to be a culinary artist and I’m looking for chef knives. There are just so many out on the market I have no idea. Shun, Kershaw, etc. I need something reasonably priced being a college student and all, great quality, will last a long time, and looks good. I would prefer a kit (I would think it to be cheaper so I wouldn’t have to by all the knives separately) with a bag, not a case. The only brand I really don’t like esp look wise is Carbon. Which brand should I get and why?
Nothing ceramic either I heard they chip very easily
