I need a new set of kitchen knives and am looking to spend about 300$ total.
I want a pack with like:
- 8 everyday knife
- 1 filet knife
- 3 bigger knives

Also I'm looking for a quality chef knife that I can use for cutting everyday things. I've heard good things about Wusthof?

I have Victorinox Fibrox Pro Chef's Knife 8inch. It is very versatile and not pricey.

Henckel Crusader set is awesome

why so many big knives? one good big chef knife is all you need. wustof are good, i have a victorinox. also good.

aside from that, i regularly use a 3 inch paring knife and a 3 inch serrated knife. sometimes a 4.5 inch paring. with those i can effectively cut anything, no need for anything else.

costco has nice ones :)

Wusthof is good, as is Henckels.

i'm a pro cook and these are a very cool pick , 8 to 10 inch's plus an office knife is all you need at all. Also for little cheaper the brand Kiwi is loved, but don't expect a big lifetime. I'd say victorinox best quality/price. They also make packs wich will probably include what you need.

you might also need a Sharpening stone if you want to make it last. it is cheap plus it helps to pass the time during realm downs ;)

Why do you need 8 everyday knife? Is it supposed to be steak knife?
As a chef I would suggest to pick just one of each. (Chef knife, serrated/carving knife, paring knife, boning, filleting)
Also do not forget to buy a sharpening steel and a wetstone ( this is optional, but highly recommend )
With that price limit I would choose between Wusthof, or Global. Very good knifes both of them, and if you take care on them they`ll last forever.
