Still get great service out of our older Wusthof Classic 15 piece set. Steak knives are really nice and my favorite is the 5" serrated utility knife.
I am very hard on kitchen knives as I primarily use poly cutting boards on a daily basis (I know, but I like tossing them in the dishwasher). I use 600/1000 whetstone to sharpen all of our kitchen knives according to this Burrfection sharpening process and use the hone between sharpening.Looking to improve our kitchen knife collection. What are some companies that make good quality kitchen knives?
How about this Victorinox 4" knife? https://www.webstaurantstore.com/vi...e-with-large-black-nylon-handle/35347501.htmlOne thing in particular is steak knives ... I like using a smooth blade 4.5" paring knife instead.
They don't.
Henckels is well known, but knowing about food doesn't automatically equate to knowing about knives or steel.The wife is a foodie who's associated with a number of well-known chefs through the years ... all she will use are Henckels, so when she says they're the best in the world, I'm gonna have to go along with her (and that's all we've got in our kitchen).
I would only add a boning/filleting knife and a set of kitchen shears to that list.The minimum for a kitchen (it is said and I believe) is a chef's knife (min 8"), a paring knife, and a bread knife.
Won't disagree with you on this. In the food industry, like any, brand cachet and sponsorships rule. However, these knives (the pro level) are as good as any steel I've ever used, are easy to sharpen and really hold an edge well.Henckels is well known, but knowing about food doesn't automatically equate to knowing about knives or steel.
A.G. Russell sells a nice Italian made steak knife - set or individual.Over time we accumulate a bunch of Old Hickory kitchen knives.
Steak knives are still a problem. Thinking of making my own.
Those white handle SS knives that Sam's has in the commercial food section are terrific value. I like the boning knives for general kitchen use. Sharpen regularly with the Chef's Choice machine (which I do with lots of knives frequently). They are great working tools. A top drawer chef probably won't be happy there, but I am.I have a walmart ss knife. I think I paid $3 for it. Needs regular sharpening but does the job.
I just bought an old hickey butcher knife because I wanted something a little beefier. It has yet to arrive. I think it was $15.
I ordered Victorinox field dressing kit from Amazon for my son and for my inlaws.
They are excellent knives. They have their own travel bag.
Son cooks, smokes meat for his family and buddies.
Inlaws spend winters out of state. The travel bag is nice, even if just to carry out to the shop.

How would you compare them with Wustoff?However, these knives (the pro level) are as good as any steel I've ever used, are easy to sharpen and really hold an edge well.
