You might also need 6 teaspoons, 6 soup spoons, 6 desert spoons, 6 desert forks, sauce spoon, cheese knife, ladle, etc. If you don't have more than 4 dinner guests at a time, your set will do and you can add the missing pieces as time goes by.

look at the quality before you buy, when I was shopping around I found the sets that came with steak knives were very cheap, I ended up buying service for 8, I live alone but wanted to be able to have family dinners, I found some high end steak knives very cheap at TJ Maxx. so shop around locally and see what you are getting
