Reply to comment by swordgeek in Best set of chef knives ? by MatineHen

Ikea knifes? They are a bit on the lighter side and the balance could be better. The finish seems to be average...is what I'd say if they sold at three times their actual price. The bang for the buck is great.

Probably the best budget knifes I bought and I find myself picking them over more expensive knives regularly. Basically for anything that doesn't require force to cut or big pieces of meat. Can confirm that the steel is nice. Very easy to sharpen!

My Ikea knife is no longer available, sadly. It was a clear step above their current (still surprisingly good) offerings, and I only paid $20 for it.

edit: Actually, Ikea's line has grown considerably since I was last there. Depending on the edge angle, they look to be potentially excellent.
