So I've finally cracked it and decided after 40 minutes of swearing (in my head) through cutting up 700grams of beef for my casserole that I need new knives. I was having that many issues getting through it that I stabbed my fingers twice and managed to mangle more than cube it.

I really want a set of decent quality, SHARP knives. The set I have are more dangerous with the amount of times I've slipped off lately and cut my fingers due to them being so blunt. I do enjoy cooking if the utensils cooperate

Does anyone have suggestions for a reputable brand that really works for them. I know there are quite a few kitchen goddesses that can answer for me I don't mind spending a bit of money on them because I know with knives it's better not to scrimp. It'd be an investment I can justify.

Thanks in advance!
