Kitchen knives

I tend to buy one knife at a time in the style I want. I primarily use a Dexter Russel that I got from a restaurant supply store. It has a rubber handle that I could cut with all day long. I have a Global G-2 that I got when I was trying out expensive knives that will make my hand cramp up in about 3 minutes. Luckily, the wife likes it.

I received a Shun as a birthday present and now that's all I want to use.

There are multiple knife threads a year on here. If you search for some, you can find many answers.

i got a cheaper block set for my everyday use.

my better knives area collection of shun and henkle. i tend to prefer the henkles.

Henkle santoku is probably my favorite knife over all.

Really nice Japanese knives at different price points

I had to look up what santoka was, and I agree, it's my go to knife.

I keep flipping back and forth between a Santoku and a chef's knife. I may just buy both at one time so I can stop thinking about it.

I highly recommend if you're looking for serious knives, take the drive to Columbia and visit Knifeworks store location. You can check out the website but they've got a huge display area where you can hold them all. The place is pretty amazing if you're into knives. Nothing else in the state is even close.

I've got a Spyderco fetish happening because of that place.

I honestly like the blocks.

I did until I got these. Fits inside a drawer.

Wife bought a a 12 piece Aikido knife set with the magnetic block last year. I was pissed because they were somewhat expensive. I like them and glad she bought them now.

I buy them one at a time and have a mix - Shun, Henkel, Cutco, Victorinox, and Wolfgang Puck santoku that was my go to until I chipped the blade.

I recently bought a few Dalstrong knives after years of watching Guga's crazy steak experiments. Might be the best value out there, very heavy duty and balanced.
