20 Kitchen knives »Greta«, straight blade

I wasn't expecting to need this many knives at once, but having twenty straight blades on hand for a big family dinner prep was a lifesaver. The set feels sturdy and well-balanced for daily chopping and slicing, and they've held up fine in the dishwasher so far.

The straight blades slice through tomatoes and onions without crushing them, which is exactly what I needed for daily meal prep. Having twenty knives on hand means I never stop mid-cooking to wash a dirty one, and they all feel solid in the hand.

I was a bit skeptical about buying a 20-piece knife set, but the straight blades are actually quite versatile for most of my daily prep. They slice through tomatoes and onions without much effort, and having that many on hand means I'm never stuck hand-washing mid-meal.
