When I was buying knives I went into Williams Sonoma and had them unlock the case. I tried almost every knife and found that I really preferred a Henckels that had quite a large handle compared to my hand size. I have never regretted my decision and my selection was never a knife I would have purchased by sight alone.

I think it depends what you’re looking for and what price range. Most people don’t need a full set. Invest in a good chef’s knife. Serated blade for cutting bread and such. Utility/paring knife for smaller projects.

Hello Bengaluru people,

I have same CTC offers from pune as well as from Bengaluru.
Bengaluru company job profile seems more better and Pune company job profile seems less better.

I'm worried about food in Bengaluru that will I get the good North Indian food daily. I don't like rice and south Indian food. I mostly eat chapati and all spicy north Indian thing.

Pune Seems better in terms of food and money. Should I come to Bangalore or not that's the point.
