what knives do you use?

i love my 10" classic wusthof chefs knife.

i also got a global set, but someone stole the 8" chefs knife (or i lost it).

Re: 回复: knives

Don't be fooled by the rustiness of the grind on the old one, the blade is way sharp.

SO what knives do you all use?

I've got a global set, (though no 8" chefs knife.. went missing),
and a Wusthof 10" classic chefs knife.

The global set (6 peice) was about $350,
and the wusthof was $299

I've yet to sharpen them myself though..
don't want to stuff the blade up.

But for cheaper knives (<$50), I'll use a steel and a diamond stone.

Zwilling J.A. Henckels, all the way. Usually sharpen with a ceramic rod, in the few cases they need it.

My goal set is a set of Shun blades.

I had a Henckles, but i lost it somewhere...
was only a lower range model though.

Which series shun?

I think they're overrated =]..
but then again, i think wusthof is as well.

I love global in terms of price vs performance.

Don't really care - I just have a bit of a hard-on for damascene/wootz steel :p It's either the Shuns or some of the Scanpan ones.

Oh I would, the Scanpan ones are crappy (in fact, most everything by Scanpan is crappy, except for their plain stainless steel cookware). I like the look of Globals.
go with global!.

sharp as hell, and light as well.

can't go wrong with their 8" chefs knife

Nah, I like a bit of weight, hence the Zwillings. I LOVE Zwilling. Best straight steel knives on the planet, IMHO.

Meh, I think Wusthof's are overrated, and I don't have any experience with Sabatiers.

Yes they are overrated,
but the higher-end models are pretty good.

though for the money i'd rather get several globals.
or those higher-end globals.. i forget the name
