Chef Knives: What is your pick? I have become accostomed to using the Chinese vegetable knife that looks like a cleaver. Wusthof is also my best pick.

something sharp enough to butcher sheep!

lol, nah that's too scary. i'm not sure about which brands are recommended. i just get knives that are really sharp so i can gut fish and slice pizza in one stroke. haha.

Wusthof, Messermister, Global are some of my favorite brands of Chef knives. Stay away from Heinkels.

Victrinox - same guys that make those swiss army knives, except these knives don't have a nail clipper etc attached to them LOL gosh - is that spelling right LOL I love my set of knives and use them so much I have worn off the label.

My pet peeve is when someone uses one of them to "butter their bread " or to test that the veges are cooked Evil or Very Mad

but I try not to get so mad about it anymore - they disappear when the culprits are visiting Surprised

-take a step back from the knives Evil or Very Mad

I meant Victorinox and I used some Trident knives made in Solignen that were great as well. They were my girlfriends and they were really light and hardwearing - great to use for training!!! Laughing

I spent more time cleaning and sharpening my knives than I did on anything else including eating any food I made Smile

Hattori Knives
Hattori knives offer traditional technology combined with modern material for high cutting performance. Hattori Cutlery is made of VG10 core cutting edge forged with 63 layered Nickel Damascus stainless steel blade. VG10 is the newly developed High Carbon (0.95 to1.05%) Molybdenum (0.90 to 1.20%) and Vanadium (0.10 to 0.30%) stainless steel plus 1.30 to 1.50% Cobalt added to increase strength. Hattori kitchen knives have a Rockwell hardness of 60 to 61 HRC. The beautiful Damascus blade is hand engraved with Ichiro Hattori's name and permanently welded with stainless steel bolster. All Hattori HD knives come with a full tang and black Pakkawood handles and three stainless steel rivets.

....i've been cooking for a long time....had my feel of all sorts of knives, including the german types...all needed maintance of some kind (the hint is when they sell you a sharpener).....the true test is when masani' gets a hold of a prized knife and takes it to the backbone for stew....the butte of the knife...the blade and the shank all get put to the test....i about had a cow when i found that my knives were gone and grandma was too....holy hell!....but i restrained and watched her do her thang, even when she whipped out the hammer wacked the blade threw the bone.......after that experience....i became a totally devoted to my cutco knives....they came back just as they left....only a bit greasy......this is american muscle.... brilliant craftsmanship....my favorites are the pearing knife, the butcher knife and the clever.....and i love the white pearl....very fem....(they have dark choco too)....they give a life time relationship.....i have only had to send one knife back for sharpinging....in ten years....and i still can cut pennies with the shears.....
