Knives

[JLeonard]

looking for suggestions on knives. I'm looking for a mid-level set. Help me out.

How much do you want to spend?

 

[JLeonard]

Not sure.....Just kinda looking for suggestions on what others have.

Wusthof or Zwilling J.A. Henckels is my choice for a European style knife.

I have had Wusthof knives for over 20 years and they are still as good as the day I bought them.

Well, I am using a cheap set of Wusthof's I gave as present to my mother about 45 years ago. I think I paid $65 for the set back then. They might be double that now.

looked up both of those and they are nice sets. Need something I can hide from the wife and kids.

For 95% of my cooking I use my 8" chef's knife or my 6" chef's knife. Maybe just get those two?

Just the exact opposite here.
My wife says she feels the need to supervise me when I am using knives.

I am really enjoying the three dalstrong knives I have purchased. Bought the cimitar, then a clever, then a 8" chef and they are some of the nicest I have used. Stay sharp too.

Those are nice looking knives.

Hold the laughter, but we received a set of Martha Stewart knives and Cutco knives 12 years ago as wedding gifts, and they both still work perfectly. I have been very surprised by the MS ones, but not sure they make them like they use too. Mine have black handles and are heavy duty, and now all I see are light, soft colored handled knives.

You won't hear me laughing.
My go-to daily user is a Good Cook stainless 6 incher.
It holds an edge very well.

I use regular meat cutting knives.

I have broken down and cut up any meat with just these two knives, including filleting fish, too! They are reasonably priced and last forever and have passed them down to both my sons!

I’ll throw my $.02 in...I have been cooking for over 45 years and have many knives mainly Henkel. I also have vintage knives from my Grandfather and Father. All good.
BUT, the other day I was cutting up an eye round for Jerky and although the above mentioned knives were good, there was one knife that went through the roast like butter...a Chicago Cutlery boning knife.
I was amazed. That’s a very budget friendly brand.

 

[JLeonard]

pops6927 I like those.

Same here, they're my everyday knives.
They take and hold an edge very well.
And their pricing is A1.

 

[JLeonard]

Keep 'em coming. I'm researching all of these. I'm tired of grabbing a knife and it being dull as can be. I want a set that I can put up for only me to use.

I am cheap bastard so took a shot and the below and can't believe how they work and how many people who have tried them ordered them. Now I don't do near the amount of cutting as some of the people here.

And super nice granton slicing knife.


These boning knives are not bad either
