An Anolon Advanced Cutlery knife block set runs between $100 and $200, depending on the size of the block set. It is one of the best knife sets you’ll find in this price range. The features you get with these knives are typical of what you’d find in knife sets that would run you hundreds of dollars more.

The blades on these fine knives are crafted from high-carbon Japanese stainless steel that is designed to stay sharp while resisting stains and rust. The steel is heat-treated, then ice-hardened to create the strongest steel possible. The blades on the kitchen knives are forged in order to ensure durability, while the steak knives are stamped and have a fine edge that cuts right through meat instead of ripping and tearing it.

The Sure Grip handles are an item that people either love or hate. They’re made of a rubber polymer that is softer to the touch than wood. Some people really like the fact that they are light weight and comfortable, and are designed to be an ergonomic alternative to wood. On the downside, they can get damaged in the sink if left to rub against other silverware and knives.

The Advanced Cutlery series of knives are some of the best balanced knives on the market. They feature a counter-balance cap that helps balance the handle against the blade and thick bolster that helps with control.

Here are some of the Anolon Advanced knives and sets that are available now:

Anolon Advanced Cutlery 17-Piece Block Set, Black

This is a big set. It comes with an 8-inch bread, 8-inch chef, 5-inch santoku, 5-inch serrated utility, 8-inch slicer, 3 and a half-inch parer and eight 5-inch Anolon steak knives. It also includes a sharpening steel, forged kitchen shears and an attractive bamboo block. This set features the black Sure Grip handles.

Anolon Advanced Cutlery 15-Piece Knife Set with Block

The Anolon Advanced 15-piece knife set at first glance looks very similar to the 17-piece set. There are a couple key differences. You get the same knives you do with the 17-piece set, minus a couple Anolon steak knives. The main difference is this set gives you a 7-inch Santoku instead of a five inch Santoku. For those who do a lot of cutting and slicing of meats and vegetables, the 7-inch Santoku is a great knife. The other difference is this set comes with a birch block instead of a bamboo block.

These three knives are really all you need to get things done in the kitchen. They sell for just under $50 dollars and make the perfect gift.

Anolon Bronze is Anolon’s flagship line of cutlery. A full 15-piece set will run you right around a buck fifty, but the price is good for what you get. The blades are made of high-carbon German steel that is heat forged then ice hardened to ensure maximum durability and ability to hold an edge.

The blades are full-tang, meaning they extend all the way to the end of the handle. Most full-tang blades have the tang exposed, which allows dirt and grime to get into the gaps between the blade and handle. The Sure Grip handles on these knives cover the tang completely, protecting the tang from corrosion and unsanitary conditions. The Sure Grip material is something owners either love or hate. It’s softer and lighter than a traditional wood or plastic handle, and is ideal for those who spend long days in the kitchen and want a lighter alternative to the norm.

The Anolon Bronze line of cutlery is both functional and attractive. You get a handsome hardwood block when you buy the larger sets, so you can show off your new set of knives by placing it on the counter.

Anolon Bronze 17-pc. Knife Block Set

The Anolon Bronze 17-piece Knife Block Set is the best set of knives Anolon sells. It comes with the following knives:

• 8-inch Chef’s Knife
• 8-inch Slicer
• 8-inch Bread Knife
• 5-inch Serrated Utility Knife
• 5-inch Santoku Knife
• 3.5-inch Paring Knife
• Eight 5-inch Anolon Steak Knives

The only downside to buying this set is you don’t get the 7-inch Santoku blade that you do with the 15-piece Anolon Bronze set below. If you ask me, it should be the other way around. Reward buyers of the bigger set with the bigger Santoku. Oh well, rant over.

Anolon Bronze 15-pc Cutlery Set

You get a couple less Anolon steak knives with this set, but you get a 7-inch Santoku. This set and the 17-piece set are close enough together in price to make price a non-issue. It’s up to you whether you want to trade off a couple of steak knives for a bigger Santoku knife.

Anolon Steak Knives are super-sharp knives designed to cut through meat instead of tearing it apart. They’re cheap enough to where you should be able to buy a couple sets so you have enough steak knives on hand for everyone in the house that may need one.

They work great on pan-fried and barbecued steaks and are great for pork chops and other tough meats that can cause problems with dull knives. The blades are made of high-carbon stainless steel that is resistant to rust and corrosion. They feature the SureGrip handles Anolon has become known for. While we’re not entirely sold on these handles for kitchen cutlery, we do like them on the steak knives. They feel good in your hands and provide a sure grip as you cut right through any kind of meat.

Anolon steak knives can be purchased as part of a knife block set, or they can be purchased individually. Here are some of the sets that are available now:

Anolon Advanced 4-Piece Steak Knife Set

This 4-piece set features Anolons black santoprene SureGrip handles. While most companies skimp on the quality of their steak knives, these knives feature full-tang construction and glass-finished blade edges.
