My husband and I cook and bake a lot, so having a good set of knives is a must in my home. Over the years, I’ve gone through my fair share of knife sets, including some that were pretty expensive and just didn’t cut it (pun intended), so I thought I’d give this budget-friendly set a try last year.

The Cuisinart Advantage Knife Set is made with high quality stainless steel blades and a nonstick coating for easy slicing. It includes six knives: a chef knife, a paring knife, a utility knife, a santoku knife, a serrated bread knife, and a slicing knife.

Each knife is lightweight and comfortable to hold thanks to the ergonomic handles. The knives fit perfectly in my hands and the handles don't lose their grip even after washing and scrubbing them.

They are also color coded with different shades. Not only do they add a pop of color to my kitchen, but since each knife is distinct, you can easily keep track of which one you have already used, preventing cross-contamination.

The set does not come with a knife block, but it’s ideal for small homes without extra counter space. You can stick them in the kitchen drawer since the guards prevent accidental cuts to your hands and fingers when rummaging through it. Or you can showcase your knives in style with a magnetic knife holder on the wall like I did to save some space.

While the knives and blade guards are dishwasher safe, the brand recommends hand-washing them to keep them in great condition. And they stay that way. I no longer have to apply pressure and use wild sawing motions to get through tough foods. No wrist fatigue here, and gone are the days of having to sharpen my knives every week.
