Try “best kitchen knife set” and compare it to “best kitchen knife set reddit”

Agree that the reddit is more relevant to me because it has multiple perspectives in a discussion format, but I don't see any particularly bad links with the first search. The first one just has more conventional review sites like GoodHousekeeping and Forbes.

I believe I found the Forbes article you mentioned. It's exactly the kind of thing that one wouldnt want to bubble to the surface.

1) Its by a forbes contributor, who makes listicles for a living. https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbes-personal-shopper/people/...

2) It does not appear the person writing the review actually purchased any of the knives. The article is an assembly of quotes from Chefs. While Chefs do have domain knowledge, and probably sometimes have good opinions, theres no way to tell if any are sponsored by different knife brands. It's not a REVIEW comparing the actual products, its somebody who googled chef knife quotes and cut/paste a page together. The review itself does NOTHING to actually compare the products to each other.
