Talking about the Ontario made Old Hickory line... Mine are 40 years old and I hope they still make them the same way today. They do have good points and bad points. They're carbon steel and will rust if not taken care of. They dull faster than stainless knives. OTOH, they're easy to sharpen, will come back quickly with few strokes on a butcher's steel and they're very inexpensive.

Oh wow. Been awhile, but oh yes, many times.

I have a cheap set I don’t love. I got it when I was setting up my apartment 18 months ago and had to buy a lot of stuff quickly. I keep meaning to upgrade them one by one but never get around to it.

You could do a lot worse than Enowo, and they are very inexpensive for the quality. Just got my steak knives this morning. I was not aware that the set, $18, also included a serving fork and a carving knife along with 4 steak knives.
Take a look at the link below. There are several options, all very inexpensive, but very good quality.

You may or may not like the paring knife. I find the handle a bit small.

They’re so cheap if I end up replacing it it won’t be a big deal.

You will love the tomato knife, especially if, like me, you live on tomato sandwiches in the summer. Their grapefruit knife is great too.
I think this week's task is culling the herd in the knife drawer. Just no room for anything new.

RADA also makes a pretty handy little knife sharpener.

Yup. I posted a "project farm" video looking at knife sharpeners. Based on his recommendation, I bought one. It's great.

We got a guy who comes once a month to the local farmers market who sharpens knives on the spot.

If you can't sharpen a knife, we're gonna revoke your Man Card.
