What's the Best Kitchen Knife for Gift-Giving?

[supergirljennie]

I have a host that doesn't want the special. I plan on buying it, but I want to know what you all think is the most practical of the knives. (I personally have the chef's, santoku, and utility.) I want to buy one as a gift, so I want to get one that will get used! Thanks for any advice!

I would vote for the santoku. I would assume you already have our other pieces in the other set, and it is truly the easiest to use, and also the most versatile.

I think I use the 5" utility and the chef's the most I don't have the Santoku yet, but it is on it's way!!

I can already see that I'm going to need another santoku because my husband and I both prefer that one over all the others.Tanya

If you are buying the gift for someone who likes to cook I would buy the santoku. If you are buying for someone who isn't experienced or doesn't spend much time in the kitchen I think the utility will be more useful. To some people I think the santoku is a little scary. Just my opinion.

Oh, I'm so upset. I've been wanting to get the Santuko so badly. I had a past host who didn't use her host benefit and I didn't even think to use it myself!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry! I'm just such a cheapie I can't pass up the deal! I've had a lot of hosts that don't want their host special, actually. I think they're crazy! She said, "I already have enough knives."
