Cutlery sets are a great way to get a kitchen knife collection started, or complete in one block set. Block knife sets come in a variety of sizes, sometimes even having a row of slots on the bottom of the block for steak knives. Starter knife sets are an excellent way to get started, often with a chef knife, utility knife, and a paring knife. In any case, kitchen knife sets are a cost effective and rapid way to build a kitchen knife collection.
