Please, no one send me such It varies by culture. In Viking culture it is an honor to give and receive a fine blade. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Well I got that a little wrong. It is actually Finnish culture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 In any culture, it is in the presentation and the reception. Do not turn your back on such a gift, in any case... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max2 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 VG 10 steel. 65 Layer. That's a pretty hard stainless metal. I would say that is a very fine set. I would pick up a good double sided stone like a King 1000/6000 and not touch them with that steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiva Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 If you are going to give an edged weapon to another, just make sure you are wearing white, follow the right protocols and play the appropriate music in the background. Then all will be well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is bad luck in Los Angeles too. Someone gave someone that i know a knife one night ... didn’t gift wrap it or nothing, just stuck it right in his back. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So with each "milestone" year, I got to choose from the catalog and my choice was a Miyabi Kaizen 10-Piece Knife Block Set(msrp $1000.00). Super pumped for these to arrive. I have owned a mid level Sabatier classic forged set since 2001 and have gotten much use out of them but never was super impressed with the edge retention on these. The Miyabi knives are said to be hand made and hand honed and razor sharp out of the box and pretty easy to keep restored to that edge but chipping can happen if not careful. If any of you are familiar with these Miyabi knives and have any experience with them please share your thoughts. Bill i have no experience with that or those knives... but I have used this set...

tigerwoodKhorns Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I can second the Victorinox knives. I bought the plastic handled versions a la cart. About $250 for a complete set, but we have the set exactly how we want then, with like 8 pairing knives and only knives that we use. Rounded out the set with a pair of Kai scissors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
