We've got a full Shun set.
I find being mindful of the pretty wooden handles a pain in the arse when cleaning them.
I'd go Victrinox if I started from scratch again.
Victory. Not flash, but hardy & Kiwi.
are they for home or work if home you could always get some made
cheers john
Depending on your budget, from low to high price, Victory, Tramontina or Henckels.
When I bought my Henckels I was told that different steels in the dishwasher react with the heat as a catalyst will cause oxidation of the sharpened edge and blunt them, and about the powders affecting them too
Bought a full set of Henckels on Norfolk Island many years ago. Even there they cost a premium, but they have been an excellent knife set. The Consumer Magazine did a Knife Set review a couple of years ago and didn't rate the Henckels that well though - what does the Consumer Magazine know though? Bought a Westinghouse washing machine once due to them rating it highly and it was the biggest pile of shit we have ever owned.
Go to the house of knives... Most of the above mentioned brands will be there.
The F Dick knives can also be brought on the net quite cheap from a NZ webpage too.
I used Dick and Trident commercially. But I'm impressed by the cheap but tough Scanpan knives. You need a good steel as well. Dishwashers and knives - the handles fall off.
I've got a collection of Sabatier/Muela knives (and a couple of Victorinox boners). I'm currently getting a sabatier slicing knife finished off/handled (was a blank I purchased of ebay).
Just rehandled this old Patco (carbon steel) cleaver.
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
I want a decent cleaver. That's a nice one @Raging Bull
The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds
I use my cleaver to slice tomatoes nice n thin
It's an old jap one I found in an opshop for five bucks. I use it every day, give it the steel once a month, and it still just about splits atoms
we have two Rand but boy they are hard and take some getting sharp, but very nice knives.
