Macy's is having a sale and I can't decide on which ones to go with. Suggestions?

Go with which ever one feels more natural in your hand. Both are good.
FWIW, I have Hennckels and am pleased.

I have a Hennckels that was purchased over 10 years ago and I purchased my mother-in-law a Wustof a couple years ago. When I am at her house I use her Hennckels. In my opinion, my Hennckels has far superior edge holding.

I've been doing some research recently and Global is where i'm leaning at the moment.

I have Henckels right now and my friend who is in culinary school has globals...i used his when I was over there 1 time and I really liked them... I am slowly going to switch 1 knife at a time

I have an old set of Henckels, and both they and Wusthofs are excellent, but as mentioned above, these two Euros no longer corner the market.
There are plenty of great makers & have had some great sets to come along in the recent decades, especially Japanese makers like Global,etc..that Ming Tsai, Rachel Ray,etc..have pimped on Foodtv.
Unless a professional chef, and/or loaded, I'd study ratings, then also look for good sales online, via catalog, and/or in department stores..you may find a deal that makes a secondary choice the much better buy.

Don't get caught up in the "you get what you pay for" game with knives.
I bought I Hennckel boning knife years ago that I never use.
Wasn't sharp when I bought it and its a pain in the arse to resharpen, Also its heavy as all hell.
Forschner makes a good stamped blade knife that resharpens easliy and is light and comfortable. And 1/3 the cost of a Hennckel.
You can get some great deals sometimes at Tuesday Morning stores on all brands of knives. I bought a "Meyers commercial cutlery" 10' chef knife for $16.00 last year ( marked down at Tuesday Morning) that has become my favorite knife.

i have wusthof and i love them. i have had them sharpened before also. i have a few other nice mix and match knives and my favorite is my little cutco pearing knife. i use it for everything. no matter what you buy, remember not to put them in the dishwasher and to always cut on a cutting board! to make sure my knives are clean i let them sit in bleach and water for an hour or so after i use them.

This is what I'm looking at. Damn good price. Just wondering why it's on sale so cheap.
For what it's worth, the "J.A. Henckels" knives are a lower cost brand than the regular Henckels. I'd go with Wusthof. (Or you can call my crackhead cousin that will sell you a great set of Cutco knives...)

I dont see what is so special about that price.. 80 dollars for a chef knife is what I have always seen with both those brands.. I would just buy the Chef Knife and the paring knife set though. The other knives dont get enough use for the price.

Tuesday morning has that knife for $40 along with 3 others of that same line... 12" chef (i think), 8" slicer and 1 other... The 12" is a little bit more $ the others are cheaper..
Thinking a bit more.... Maybe they all aren't pro s but i know 2 were for sure

The classic sells for 40.. The S series is a better knife but is it twice as good.. IMO no.
Posted on 8/22/08 at 12:17 pm to Catman88
I am positive that they had the pro s and still should have some for $40

These are sold door to door so I hope I don't get a Cutco salesman at my door knowing it might be your crackhead cousin casing the place.
Cutco makes some very good knives with lifetime warranty.
I have Wustof and Hennckels however my best knives are all Dexter-Russell which I buy at Scardina's on Choctaw. They are commercial kitchen knives with white plastic handles and are great. They hold an edge well but you need to buy a good diamond sharpening/honing steel as well. The Dexter Russells are very inexpensive, handle well and go in the dishwasher.
Try em.
