Don't buy a set at all and Argos is no place to get decent knives
anyway; the listed ones aren't high quality. Go to John Lewis/affiliates
or else a restaurant supply and buy your knives one at a time. The
handle for a large chef's/chopping knife needs to be different than for
a small paring knife and cleavers different again.
