I fully expect to be embarrassed by some nice high dollar knives and that's great. I'm just giddy having a nice knife and not having to use something with farberware on it. Love seeing quality knives.

So let's see them

Here is mine, LINK. Reviews compare the quality to victornox(sp) and looks better in my opinion.

$13 Rada. Works fine. Doesn't keep an edge long, so a frequent rod and occasional stone are necessary.

My workhorse is a Global G-2. Been very happy with it.

Looks nice dude, especially for $30. European profile with the Japanese edge design, huh? I'm interested.

I have the Victorinox (wood handle), a Shun 7" santoku (love it but the edge chips easily), a beat up ole 8" Old Hickory chef (hard to find the chef and rust if you look at it funny, but takes/holds a wicked edge), and the one I use the most:

The Rada mentioned above. I don't have to worry about it....just always works, can leave it in dishwater for days or throw it in the dishwasher, etc.

But I'm curious about this one, for the mix of Western and Eastern profiles and just because I like the look:

En route for xmas, if its 1/3 as durrable as the tests show, ill buy one every 5 years

Got a 2 year old Wusthof 10" and 5 year old Henckels 12", both good, but old and im hoping to remedy frequent sharpening

Interesting.

What's the radar cross-section?

$13 Rada.



thought I was the only one who used those. My wife orders them thru Fingerhut or one of those things. frickers will circumcise a gnat for a little while then they lose their edge. Edges come back quick but fades quick too. Damn handy though. Also have a few nicer Shuns and Hienkles.

I've got a victorinox fibrox 8" chef knife. It's my first "real" knife, and I'm loving it so far. I'd like to learn how to sharpen on a whetstone and get a Japanese knife down the line.

You and that CT knife started my obsession of wanting a real knife.

Figured I'd start small.

Just a Shun Classic. About to invest in something from Carter Cutlery, I think.



Also have the santoku, but don't use it much.

How do you like that Kramer? Thinking about stepping into that price range.

I'm happy to see the love for the Victorinox Fibrox knives in here. I have a dozen or so pieces of Henkels Pro S knives. I bought the Victorinox knives for when I cook away from home. I love them. I use them at home as often as I do the Henkels. For the price, I recommend them.
