You don’t give knives, scissors, blades etc as gifts. Call it ‘superstition’ … but it is better to not do it than to lose that relationship. If someone give you a knife… Give them one dollar as an energy exchange. Don’t offer to buy them on anyone’s behalf. Pots and pans are all right. Get them lovely containers with nice motifs instead … or Pioneer Woman brand… They’re all very pretty.
Chicago Cutlery Belden 15 Piece Premium Kitchen Knife
It depends on the use. Is it for skinning a deer? Hunting? Self defense? wood carving? Fishing? Is it for a chef? A barber? A Butcher? A camper? A hiker? Is it primarily for stabbing, cutting, slicing or chopping? Do you want a folding knife, fixed blade, a curved blade or a straight blade? Is it a pocket knife, a boot knife, a neck knife or belt knife? Need more data to provide a good answer.
Amazon Basics 14-Piece Kitchen Knife Block Set, High-Carbon
Does the person want or like knives? I gave my cousin a Cold Steel folding tanto because my wife thought he would like it. He was totally apathetic about it and I was bummed because I thought it was totally cool. Thankfully it was one that I had had in my personal collection and didn’t cost anything. It’s probably at the bottom of the junk drawer.

As Daniel said- a knife the person would like to have. I have a grandson that collects knives. For about 16 years, Christmas and birthdays, he gets a knife from me. They have included dressy small pocket knives, Bowie knives, military bayonets, throwing knives and hunting knives. Now, my grandson likes ANY knife- most people would like one type more than another. Pick a well known brand name and go from there.
MOSFiATA 8 Super Sharp Professional Chef’s Knife
For whom.
For the serious cook in your life a nice chef’s knife, a Victorinox Fibrox is a good option for entry level but you can spend hundreds of dollars for a fancy carbon steel one.
For a whittler a Mora slojd knife.
You get my drift. The best knife is one that best suits what the recipient will do with it.
Zelite Infinity Damascus Chef Knife 8 Inch, Japanese Chef Knife
A very sharp carving knife will usually be best. I’ve been impressed by the new Cuisinart Stipple-sided hollow-ground chef knife; though I don’t know how long its tang is, and doubt it will take much banging or abuse, it is extremely handy for slicing and prep work.
Pocket Knife Spring Assisted Folding Knives
Any sharp and reasonably long knife you’re comfortable using and have on hand.
A chef’s knife will do nicely, although a specialised carving knife (which is about as long, but only about half as wide) will be somewhat more effective. Knowing where and how to cut to get nice, even slices from a particular cut with as little waste as possible is significantly more important than a specialised knife.
If I had to recommend some brands, they would be Wüsthof, F. Dick, ‘K’ Sabatier, Solicut and Kai. Solely because I’ve used them and was satisfied. Doesn’t mean other brands won’t work just as well, or that those brands will necessarily work well for you .
If you meant the other type of carving knife (the ones you’d use on wood), then, again, there is no ‘best’. What really matters are sharpness and your skill in using them.
If I had to recommend a brand, I’d say you can’t go wrong with ‘Kirschen’ brand wood working hand tools (apparently, they’re sold under the ‘Two Hherries’ brand in the US).
They are fairly expensive, and—like with just about any woodworking hand tool out there—the ‘out of the box’ edge finish isn’t really suitable for any serious work. But it’s a lot closer than most cheap tools, so you won’t spend a full day getting a set up to scratch but only a couple of hours…
ALBATROSS EDC Cool Sharp Tactical Folding Pocket Knife
I’d prefer a Wusthof Granton-edge carving knife, professionally honed. A good carving knife is longer, at least 9″, so you can cut a slice from a roast in a single stroke. It should always be smooth edged, not serrated, or you’ll get a rough texture on your slices. And Granton edge keeps thin slices from sticking to the knife.

For presents I am quite the fan of the Higonokami, They are available to suit every budget, they are simple, inoffensive to look at, quite beautiful in my opinion. It doesn’t lock which gets it around a lot of laws.
You do have to warn the person against doing certain actions with it because that non locking blade is tricky to get used to but yeah other that that it’s a great choice with a lot of custom options.
imarku Japanese Chef Knife – Pro Kitchen Knife 8 Inch Chef’s Knives
The Sunday roast is one of the great British institutions, but without the right tools to cut it, it can all go horribly wrong, with great slabs of unappetising meat appearing on people’s plates. A decent carving set will provide the solution. Aim to get a set made from high-carbon stainless steel, or alternatively carbon steel.
The knife should also be long, with a thin sharp blade, while the handle should be comfortable to hold and well balanced. Read on to discover the best sets that will give you slice after slice of delectable looking meat.
1. Robert Welch Signature Carving Set:
This brand’s award-winning knives are favoured by top chefs including Nathan Outlaw and this set, made from top-quality German stainless steel, doesn’t disappoint, making light work of even the biggest roasts. The ergonomic handles fit beautifully into the hand, while the long, ultra-sharp edge means you can produce fine, delicate slices with ease.
2. Analon Advanced Carving Set:
Analon is the brand of choice for chef Raymond Blanc, so it is no surprise its carving set is such a joy to use, putting the carver in control of the meat, rather than the other way round. Made from heat-treated, ice-hardened Japanese steel, it is resistant to rust and stains. We love the soft Santoprene handles too – it makes the set comfortable to hold and easy to control.
3. I.O.Shen Carving Knife and Fork Set:
This is a lot to fork out (pardon the pun), but the razor-sharp edge of the knife means you can carve all types of meat and fish in a single stroke, while the fork holds everything in place. Inspired by the centuries-old art of Samurai sword-forging, these Japanese crafters have created a blade that will see you through a lifetime of roasts.
4. Languiole by Jean Dubost Carving Set:
These retro-looking tools are great for people who like a bit of vintage in their lives. They won’t let you down either, even after years of use. Made in France using decades-old processes, there are plenty of matching implements available, ranging from cheese knives to salad servers.
5. Procook Professional X50 Carving Set:
This is a bargain for a strong, hard-wearing carving set made from German stainless steel, with a stone ground blade for sharp cutting. They are well-constructed and comfortable to hold, with good weight balance. Make sure you sharpen them regularly.
