There are many cutlery brands from all over the world to choose from when shopping for new kitchen knives. To make your decision a little easier, consider the following tips.
1) If precision cutting is important to you, check out japanese knives. Japanese knives are very popular among professional chefs. Japanese knives are much lighter than western and European knives yet most have extremely sharp blades that are precision forged for almost perfect straightness. They hold their edges very well and slice evenly. Some popular brands of Japanese cutlery are Shun knives, Global knives, and Santori knives.

2) If you are looking for high quality, make sure to purchase a fully forged knife. Also, ensure that your next knife comes with a full tang. A full tang means that the blade runs all the way to the back of the handle, rather than connecting to it. This makes for a much stronger, more durable knife that is very difficult to break. Examples of these knives would be Henckels knives, Wusthof, and Victorinox.
3) For the best overall deals, purchase a kitchen knife set. Buying knives in sets instead of one at a time can save you up to 75%. Most manufacturers make sets in every price range and for specific usage. Custom made sets are possible through some manufacturers as well. When shopping for a set, just make sure that the knives included are ones that you will actually use. Sometimes, a chef's knife is enough to get the job done.
4) Make sure to get an unlimited warranty. Many budget knives will advertise a warranty but it will be very limited and very hard to get replacement knives for ones that break or go bad. All of the top quality kitchen knife brands will come with lifetime warranties.
