Investing in Forged Knife Sets For Your Kitchen

Delight in finding the best knives you can when you choose forged knife sets for your home. These are the knives that are designed to last for several years, as long as you provide proper care, due to their method of construction. Artisan cutlers at high-end brands like Wusthof, Shun and Calphalon make these knives from a specialty process that ensures years of daily use at tasks like slicing, dicing, chopping and more. Create the cuisine you love the most with forged knife sets that feature all the essential cutlery your kitchen needs. Browse the selection at Williams Sonoma now.

What Are Forged Knife Sets?

Forged knife sets are sets of essential and specialty cutlery that come in a bundle, usually including a block or other method of knife storage and protection. By choosing forged knives, you get all the benefits of this traditional cutler's technique. Learn more about why these knives might be the right ones for you.

  • Forging is a process that gives the steel blades of your knives greater strength. While knives can be either stamped or forged, forged styles have more weight, power and longevity. Stamped knives, by contrast, are cut from a single piece of steel and sharpened, creating a lighter knife.
  • For those who cook frequently, a combination of forged and stamped knives might be right for you. Use your forged knives when preparing thick cuts of protein or fibrous produce that requires a clean cut. The strength of the blades makes it easy to slice ingredients as you wish.
  • These knives work best when sharpened, just like any other type of cutlery. Use a manual sharpening wand, an electric sharpener or a specialty sharpener for Asian or serrated blades. You'll notice the difference next time you pull out your cutting board.

See what forged knife sets can do for your meal preparation efforts when you shop now.
