The Dexter Russell knives cut everything in extremely nice restaurants. They use and throw away . I want a Kramer knife for myself personally. I have a set of Hinkle pro that I rarely take to the restaurant. My days of cutting up a bunch of onions are behind me. There are knife companies that sharpen their own knives they rent to restaurants. They grind the shite out of them though. Get a decent sharpener and learn to use a steel for whatever you have at home.

If you want a really nice Bowie knife check out Nick Wheeler knives. He's super anal and meticulous about his work.

How do you guys sharpen your nice knives?
I picked up a slightly used wicked edge gen 3 pro. I haven't got to really use it yet but I got it for 1/2 price so I jumped on it. I cant hold a angle for shite to use a stone so I am going to try this out.

Got the global chef's knife earlier this year and have loved it. It's one Bourdain mentioned in his Kitchen Confidential book.
Amazon
I like it because it is a good bit lighter than my last chef's knife, which allows me more control.

whetstones of varying grit. i have 4 ranging from 400 grit to 8000 grit. i also have a 4 stage stropping method after that.
honestly its my number one recommendation to anyone wanting good knives. i have several good German steel knives and some Japanese knives. Since im anal about keeping them well kept they stay in their cases most of the time. most daily cooking i just reach for my cheap block set knives. but with the stones they are just as sharp as. Razor sharp.
I find it very relaxing the sharpen them too. Bonus you can sharpen other stuff.

I also have the global and while it has a nice blade I find that the handle is too small for me and my hand begins to cramp when I use it.

Me and all my chef friends get our knives from https://www.chefknivestogo.com/. You want to look in the Gyutos section if you are looking for a Chef's Knife.

A fun knife company that makes great knives is Grimm knife Co.
I had one made for me and it's fantastic.
However, for everyday use, I have a wustof chefs knife. Nice and heavy.
