Saber F-11 Working Chef Knives With Chef's Knife Bag For Sale
I'll admit it: I'm a knife snob. When I saw the prices of these knives I wrinkled my pert little knife snob nose that was planted firmly in the air and thought with my irony-laden bourgeois tone, "Oh, $350 for a set of knives AND the case? That's quality stuff right there."
My first apartment had the obligatory OMG these knives are only $30 and TOTALLY make me look like a grownup!!! set of Chicago Cutlery. I progressed from there, trying out everything from Ginsu to Wustof to Henckles to Shun. I have two Shun knives and I adore them. But I also own a catering company, and didn't want to schlep my precious knives all over town and constantly have to worry about them getting damaged or walking off. This knife set seemed like the perfect solution-- a knife case with a set of knives that fit right in.
I figured these knives would be "disposable," much like the Chicago Cutlery type of knives... alright for a year or so, but then they'll quit even taking an edge and you're ponying up more cabbage for knives that you CAN sharpen. I'm fortunate enough to have a husband that's a wizard at knife sharpening (the man constantly has a patch of hair missing from his arm where he tests the sharpness), so I'm used to really sharp knives. I can honestly say the only time I haven't had to sharpen knives right out of the gate was when we got our Shun knives-- Henckels and Wustof both had good edges, but not the super sharp edge I was looking for in my knives.
SO. I wasn't expecting much out of these knives when I ordered them-- figured they be our bang around knives for catering. I WAS BLOWN AWAY BY THE QUALITY! These knives are crazy, crazy sharp. They'll cut a tomato so thin it'll disappear. The blades have an excellent balance to them. The edges of these blades are amazingly sharp and thin without being flimsy. I'm not the type of chef that wants a thick blade-- I appreciate the thinness of the Shun knives for making incredibly precise cuts. It's kind of like the difference between using a scalpel and a machete. More importantly, these knives HOLD an edge. There's lots of knives you can PUT an edge on, but then use it twice and it's like trying to cut with a letter opener. Not so with the Saber knives-- they come with an edge, and they keep it. In fact, I've had them for 3 months, used them almost daily, and they're still ridiculously sharp.
The range of knives included is all you'd need for a kitchen on wheels. The case is amazing-- I haven't had ANY of the knives slip out in transit. I've even started taking them with me when I go to my mom's house. My sister used them and as she was washing them she made a comment about my expensive knives making her nervous. When I told her how much I paid for the set, her eyeballs just about popped out of her head-- she figured since the quality was on par with Shun, the price must be as well.
This "catering set" of knives has several of them hanging on my knife block that I use regularly. And honestly, I've started reaching for these faster than I do my Shun knives-- I'm not as "afraid" to use these, because if something happens to them I can replace them a heckuva lot cheaper! I've used them side by side with my Shun Premier knives, and they're neck & neck in terms of balance, edge and weight.
A last note: The Saber customer service is amazing, a level you just don't find anymore. I ordered a chef's knife directly from Saber that was damaged during shipping, and they made it right without any hassle or hesitation. I didn't have to call India, I didn't have to shout into voice recognition software then get frustrated and press zero for an operator anyway, and I received a level of customer service that made me briefly wonder if I'd traveled back in time to the 1950's.
You will not be sorry you bought these knives.
