Can you get a good set of 3 different kitchen knives for $100-$150 range?

Don’t have to be top of the line, I know that’s expensive, but solid, fairly long lasting.

Costco has some nice sets from Cangshan and Henckels for under $200.

What 3 knives? Chef, pairing, serrated, slicer, boner, filet?

I would look at fibrox Victorinox. Solid line, cheap handles, but great value.

Victorinox, Dalstrong, or you can get some non-wood handles Wusthof knives at good prices.

You could get a chef's, boning and paring Victorinox for well under $100.

Debating this. 3 most useful. Not a boning though.

3 most useful
The knife I use most is a 10" chef (the one in the link below) which accounts for 95% of my cutting tasks. The other 5% is divided between a 6" petty for trimming and deboning, and an 8" serrated edge for bread and baked goods.
If you gave me $150 to buy you knives, I'd get you this Dexter iCut-PRO Seven Piece Professional Knife and Carrying Case Set
We've been using the 10" chef's knife in my lab for 5 years now with great results. They keep an edge and are easy to maintain after the factory edge wears off, the ergonomic grips accommodate various hand sizes, and they're forged and have a hefty feel in your hand.
If you don't want a set, the same website has individual options available. If I were to take the top 3 most useful/ used knives from that set, I'd start with the big 10" chef, then add a 7" santoku and the 8" serrated. You're probably looking at under $100 shipped, including taxes.

Tell the board how Catherine de' Medici introduced the boner to France.

Victorinox. Should be able to get a chef, boning, and paring in that price range.

Yeah I know. I’m debating it because these knives aren’t for me (FIL) and I’m really not sure what he’s use the most.
Thanks to everyone in the thread for suggestions!

That combo takes care of 95% of what I do. I have what are supposed to be "nicer" knives but I most often reach for the Victorinox.
A serrated knife for tomatoes and bread is good to have and if you cook a lot of big cuts that need slicing, one of the long carving knives is good to have. The carving knife is probably the most fun and satisfying knife in my drawer to use on things like brisket.

These, as well as their Henkles counterparts, are trash. Ask me how I know...

Dexter Russell is the best value in knives, especially if you don't care about pretty
Posted on 4/9/23 at 8:32 pm to CatfishJohn
I tell people all the time, no matter what knives you get (make sure they are carbon steel), if you don’t have one of these and use it before each use, you are wasting your time.
Spend 15 seconds before using a knife to hone it.

Just buy a few Dexter models.

I've got a few Deter knives for cooking and love them. They take a good edge and hold it for a good while.
Yeah, the ones I have with the white rough textured handles don't look pretty, but do the job very well.
