Place Knives
What is the best place to purchase good quality chefs knives?
Prefer in NW Indiana/S Chicago area. Affordable
I’ve been upgrading my knives this year to Wustoff Classic and I’ve found the prices are pretty much set the same at most of the stores. For instance the 8″ Santoku knife was $89 at Bed, Bath, & Beyond, Crate & Barrel, Williams Sonoma, and at a place downtown Chicago that specializes in professional kitchen stuff. I can’t remember the name of that store, they also have a website, but I hear them advertise on WGN radio once in a while. But anyway, I ended up buying my Santoku knife through Amazon and got it for $82 total – shipping included. Since then I’ve picked up a 4″ utility knife at Bed Bath & Beyond because the price was the same as on Amazon. Then a couple of days ago I was at Crate & Barrel and bought a 9″ Carving Knife. Again, the price was the same as at the other stores. I didn’t check Amazon this time, but I probably could have saved a few bucks if I hadn’t been so impulsive. I wanted it NOW! ;o)
I like Amazon because their prices are very competitive. I’ve also been upgrading my cookware to Stainless Steel Calphalon and the prices at Amazon are terrific.
Bottom line, tho, most of the stores have a suggested retail price for knives and they stick to it for the high-end knives like Wustoff Classic. Henkels has different grades of knives and you can get some inexpensive ones at Target, but you are not getting their best quality. Wustoff also has a couple of different grades of knives, the Classic line being their best. I know there are Japanese brands that are supposed to be really good, too. I think it comes down to the feel of the knife and the sharpness of the blade. That’s why I like the ones I got. You may like others better because of the way they fit your hand and the weight.
Remember, good knives are an investment. Take good care of them and they will last forever. Cheap knives don’t.
