I'm old school. I swear by Henckel.

This is the knife I use 99% of the time.

What makes them "one of the most amazing"?

The Original Warther (2 or 3 generations back) created the technique that they still use because he wanted his carving knives to hold their edge longer and better, also he was tired of hearing his mother complain about not having a sharp paring knife. His family still makes their knives the same way today. I have one of the paring knives and use it nearly every day..........

That and the pliers they carve from a single block of wood....really different.....

 

[iamwhatiseem]

Henckel for me.
But you have to be careful buying them. They need to be the "S" type or "four star".
You'll know by the price.
The rest are no better than knives you can buy at Walmart.

My favorite is my four star Henckel Asian knife. Perfect balance and super-sharp. Yeah it is an $80 knife...but if you do much cooking...it is worth every penny.

That looks like the shit sold on the middle of the night shows.
Here's my perpetually attached to my belt knife.

Exactly.

It used to be JA Henckel was safe, but even that has been polluted by Chinese knock-offs under the "JA Henckel International" moniker.

To be honest that looks like a late night knife too! Here is mine...

Yep...a couple years ago I was in a Bed, Bath and Beyond and was looking at their knives. I ran across a complete set of "Henckels" for $49...obviously something was up since a Henckel paring knife will cost that...so when I got home I looked them up...yep...Chinese shit. Amazon also sells the "fake" Henckels.
It is a damn shame that such a good company has sold off their name and allowed knock-offs.

Please, though some of those are obviously meant to be decorative, if you look close enough you will see 3 military issue among the mix. One of which is a WW1 German Bayonet....

I haven't seen any fake Warthers out there.........

Got another link????

ya know...i had a problem linking in this thread too... not sure what the problem is.

Google

Bob Kramer Carbon Steel Chefs Knife

Very nice but Amazon lists just ONE for $350

I could see paying that much for a 4-6 piece set but not just one 10" chef's knife

Link?

Besides being hand made with an exotic wood handle.

The blade is "Damascus" pattern steel.

Which means that the forged steel was hot hammered and folded dozens of times.

Besides making it incredibly strong and the ability to hold a razor sharp edge..

The thin layers create an extremely beautiful one of a kind pattern on the blade.

Pictures don't do a Damascus blade justice.

You have to hold a Damascus knife in your hand to see the amazing workmanship and spectacular beauty of one of these unique knives.

Agreed....

That's right... they are meant to be used..and used well. I guess you can say i'm into knife play.

When it comes to top of the line Chef knives.

I like a knife that has Vanadium listed as one the metals in the blade.

Generally, it will say V-1 or the even better V-10

Vanadium makes the blade more rust resistant.

Plus gives the knife an even harder edge which will sharpen to a razor sharp edge that lasts a long time.

Thanks for the Warther site.

Don't believe I have ever seen a Warther knife.

But the next time I go to a Gun and Knife Show.

I will definitely look for one and check it out.

If you are ever near Dover Ohio it is worth while to take the tour through their facility.... We used to go about every 3 years when I was growing up....
