Knife Porn

SheilaAnn recently posted her "go to" knives on another thread. And they were purty. So, I figured we should post some purty knives ….

here goes

First, these are my daily go to knives …. Wusthof Classic Ikon: 8” Chef, 7” Santoku, 6.5” utility, 4” utility … and that fork is awesome, too. You cannot go wrong with the Wusthof Classic Ikon knives


Second, when I need some serious chopping, these Kamikoto Kuro knives are amazing … 7” Santoku, 6.5” Nakiri, 5” Utility. These are an incredible step up from any other knives that I have owned.

Very nice!

Okay Eric, I'll play.

My routine knives are Wusthof Classics, the thinner granton carver being a nice piece especially.

And then there's the knife that Panhead John bugs me about. He claims it would be perfect for his Psycho Reenactment Festival (compared to the 8" Chef).

That Dalstrong Chef is beautiful ..... and the Wusthof Classics are always a great go to!

[Uncle Bob]

As you probably know, Dalstrong likes cutesy names...........they call this one The Devastator.

Decided to clear off kitchen counters. Evaluated which knives are used most frequently. They got a place on the magnet. I’ve been very happy with this change.

[ecowper]

That is awesome setup

[CandySueQ]

Thanks! The knives on it have changed. Got 2 brisket knives up next to the tile wall now.

Mine don't match, but I've been finding the value of at least getting into mediocre knives the past 3-4 years. I've also been watching too much Sam the Cooking Guy lately, so the Nakiri is new, but I couldn't drop 2x the price for his mug on the side of it. However, I'm seeing why he always grabs that knife first, I really like the feel of it or maybe I just like that it's brand new and still crazy sharp (I'm due for another round of sharpening on several knives again).

I don't see why they have to match ..... nice looking knives .... the Nakiri is a really nice looking knife

I’ve become a fan of Dalstrong knives. These are the Shogun series.

Purty!

Some Japanese Steel

oooooohhhhhhhhh that's nice!

[tmaan235]

I'm experiencing knife envy right now

[ecowper]

tmaan235 yeah ….. I thought I had a nice set of knives

[bbqLuv]

Just give me Victorinox Cutlery
They match and succeed top-of-the-line, higher-priced cutlery.
Best by test.

[mrteddyprincess]

My brand too. My mother-in-law bought me the BBQ set and I like it very much.

[Draznnl]

I have a Victorinox chef's knife that I absolutely love.

[Attjack]

Victorinox or Mercer knives are great for the price.

Very nice!

[RonB]

We have a bunch of knives, but these are the ones I use. My wife is scared of them because they are too sharp...

The gyuto is a san mai construction with stainless on the sides and R2 powdered steel in the middle. It has a ho handle, (western handle).The R2 steel takes a great edge and holds it well.

The petty, (smaller knife), is also a san mai construction, but has carbon steel on the outside with a layer of very thin nickel, and the center is 125sc carbon steel. I sent the handle material to the maker in Sweden. It's from a piece of cherry a cousin gave me 40 years ago. I have another piece of that wood that I am going to use to make a knife for that cousin - some day...

The tomatoes somehow turnded into pico de gallo...

[Old Glory]

very cool blades!

[ecowper]

Beautiful knives Ron!

[tmaan235]

You know, the reason the tomatoes turned into pico is because the knives were too sharp. Shame on you for keeping sharp knives! Don't ever do this again!
