Knives Out

[JohnDB]

Got a knife?

How about a good knife?

Many high carbon knives aren't expensive anymore.
But then we step into a new class of knife. The custom hand forged knife....a class all of its own.

LOL....I've been using Old Hickory kitchen/steak knives for everyday knives for decades.

They used to come as "starter sets". We got a set as a wedding gift and I've been using them ever since.

I did buy a set if the steak knives, a flat thin bladed slicing knife, and another paring knife the kid broke the tip off of.

Once they are seasoned they are super easy to maintain and keep sharp with just a stone.

I believe the super expensive kitchen knives are just an ego trip best reserved for restaurant prep.

I agree with you on this. A guy I worked with who lives in Colorado Springs makes those type of stickers and slicers. They are works of wonder.

Yes..

You are correct
Expensive kitchen knives are not going to be appreciated by anyone but a professional.

I've held my chefs knife for literally 8 hours a day, 6 days a week with huge amounts of vegetables and meats to process every day....very specific calouses grow from holding a knife every day....

I've had the history....so now that I'm retired....my wife got me a toy. I love it. But it's a lot more $$$ than a new one from Walmart. Steel quality? Roughly the same.

I've still got the Cutco cutlery that hubby bought about 20 years ago. I like it.

Dexter/Russell knives were my former BIL's choice as a professional butcher. He had his own set and took them home with him every evening.

My Chef knives 8" and 10" were bought back in the 80's, almost 90's. Been heavily used for decades.
Because I took care of them....they are still razor sharp....I WAS still using them on a daily basis. The professional series Hinkels has better steel than the four star Hinkels. So I use it more. Plus its the 10 inch....and bigger knives have more leverage.
Now....I've got new toys....looking like they came out of a CS Lewis movie.

Yep....I've bought those for the crew to use. Good knives....very sturdy.

My late brother used to love his Hinkels.
