Looks nice.

I use this one: https://www.amazon.com/AccuSharp-ACCU-001C-001C-Knife-Sharpener/dp/B00004VWKQ/ref=sr_1_36?crid=1GU609BB36U0U&dchild=1&keywords=knife+sharpener&qid=1599181291&sprefix=knife+%2Cgarden%2C230&sr=8-36

The copy says it's also good for sharpening axes and machetes -- should, y'know, your life take an unexpected turn in a different direction.

She'll be all set for any manner of domestic disturbances, patient zero encounters, and/or gremlins. Also bad news against telekinetic villains, but all kitchenware has its pros and cons.

Yeah, but if you're gonna penetrate the personal shield, you gotta thrust slowly....

I use three brands of knives...

Cutco. Simply great knives.

Chicago Cutlery. Got a couple of old chef's knives that I really like.

Old Hickory. I've had four or five of those for forty years. They take more care, but they are easy to get a good edge.

For sharpening, I use these:

Not quite two years, but wondering on your feedback on these knifes.

I am looking to get a good set of kitchen knifes.

"Page Not Found"...but I remember the knives. She's happy.

I just go with the Amazon Basic - good enough for me, and when I can't sharpen them any more, I pitch 'em.

THoughts?

I'd say it depends on whether you clean your knives in the dishwasher or by hand.

If it is the dishwasher, I'd definitely go with the cheapo set. Knives look terrible after a few years of dishwasher. If you clean by hand, then I'd go with the expensive knives - but learn how to sharpen them!

I'm a big fan of knifes that are not stainless steel. Yes, they look ugly and rusty after a while, but their big upside is that they can be made razor-sharp again in a few seconds.

edit: uh, I see that this is from two years ago!

I have exactly the same set. It's terrific!

What heathen would put his knives in a dishwasher?

[Klaus]

@Jolly we do, with our peeling knifes. We use cheap ones that we renew once a year or so.

Why not put knives in the dishwasher?
