Mighty Favog Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) Can't vouch for their quality and I wouldn't want to use them for a long cooking session, but it is an interesting way to store them: https://www.facebook.com/best.guns.lover/photos/a.205697086281285.1073741828.205696369614690/230309910486669/?type=3&theater Edited February 22, 2016 by Mighty Favog 1 Quote

Shiva Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) For those who like quality kitchen knives, this is a great vid on a master Bladesmith in action. He uses iron from a meteorite in his blade. Edited February 22, 2016 by shiva Quote

jimjimbo Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Artsy, but I prefer the magnabar and good old work horse kitchen knives. I'm using a wooden block now, only because I have grand kids around a lot, otherwise a magnabar as well. Have been cooking a long, long time now, and over time the best knives I've used for ruggedness and keeping their edge have been the Wusthof Classics. Another brand is a German knife, Friedr. Dick. Not quite to the Wusthof standard for me, but quite good, and a bit less expensive. 1 Quote

Not quite to the Wusthof standard for me, but quite good, and a bit less expensive. Wusthof rocks. Some people don't appreciate it though. I bought both my mother and mother-in-law matching Wusthof chef's knives thinking I was doing something special. Nether one of them use it. That was 10 years ago and I don't think my mother in law even took hers out of the package, and my mom threw hers in the back of a drawer and never sharpened it once. They both use these cheesy and cheap Wal-Mart knives, don't own any type of sharpener. Quote
Paducah Home Theater Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) Another brand is a German knife, Ever notice that quality tools in just about any field are German made many times? Those Germans are really really good at marketing. For example, where would you go to buy a nice rifle scope? I mean, German glass is the best, no? Lots of people are shocked to the point of disbelief to figure out that many of the best scopes in the world have Japanese glass. That being said, the only small engine I'll own is a Stihl who is German. Oh wait, those are being built in Virginia now? Oh man, just turn my world upside down why don't you.

twk123 Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Not a kitchen knife, but this is my all time favorite camping/woodsman knife. They are hand made in Nepal and can engrave your name etc. The one I have is full tang with a riveted wood handle and is bomb proof: http://www.thekhukurihouse.com/catalog/product.php?id=313631f87 Quote

I want to get my dad a nice chefs knife and noticed the pricing is similar. We love our Wustof's too. Quote
jimjimbo Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 I have always liked the F Dick knives better than any of the Henkels lines. Quote
oscarsear Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 I own a number of good knives by many manufacturers. None of them are worth a whit unless you know how to keep them sharp and safe. I use a diamond brick, a 3000 and 7000 whetstone and finish with a razor strop with polishing paste. They are one and all razor sharp all the time. I actually warn guests that they are unforgiving slicing tools meriting the greatest of caution. Kids are barred from the knife drawer. When they get used they are hand cleaned, dried and steeled and put safely away. I have a linear drawer rack for the knives. 1 Quote
JerolW Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 I'm with you, Oscarsear. I dull knife is dangerous. I have a nice 9" Messermeister as my main use knife. jerol Quote
Mighty Favog Posted February 22, 2016 Author Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) Love our Wustoff Classics too. Keep them in a wood block on top of the counter and have to remind the Mrs. every time I've sharpened them. It's a treat to watch my Dad sharpen a kitchen knife. Like watching one of those Beni-Hanna chefs giving the floor show. He had a second job as a butcher for Kroger's when we were kids. Some years ago, my brother-in-law gave me a small Kukri for a Christmas present. He's originally from Nepal after all. Edited February 22, 2016 by Mighty Favog 1 Quote
