Re: Anyone into knives?
Oooo.. who makes those? Picture is so tiny.
I used to be a die hard Henckels Twins fan until I picked up a Mac knife at a friends house - she a sous chef at some fancy Toronto joint. Completely different design. Light, thin, razor sharp. Had to have one after that! |

Re: Anyone into knives?
Personally, I love pro s by Henckel. I have 8-9 of them. For me, it is all about weighting. I like the weight of Wusthof/Henckel but found the central weighting of the Henckel best for me. For the same reason I do not have a Santoku, I prefer a standard (I guess) european style chef blade. Recently, I was looking for a 10 inch butchers knife and stumbled on to the brand linked below at my local restaurant supply store. I thought what the hell and bought it. It is a no frills knife (no fancy handles) made by victorinox. Anyway, WHAT A KNIFE! For the price, these things are great (I have since picked up a couple). Serioulsy, for the price you pay for these Forschener knives, I dont think you can get anything close to the sharpness for the price, hell, nothing close to this good for 2-3x the price. Just looking at amazon at all their knives, they are all 4.5/5 stars.

Re: Anyone into knives?
what no one has shun? i had to stop useing my Henkles cus they were to think. cuting things such as carrots would cause them to crack about 80% in to the cut. lots of friends have had wusthof knives and i do like them but i have ran in to the same thing with them. i do think wusthof is a better knife, they seem to hold there edge longer. global are nice but real slick and hurt my hands, i dont have girl hands. i have been using my shuns for about 4 years in restaurnts and culinary school. no problem with them yet

Re: Anyone into knives?
Still mostly use large chef knifes though I do love my Santoku. Good knifes make all the difference when cutting.

Re: Anyone into knives?
I own Wusthoff and use to work at a Crate & Barrell where they huck the German knives. My friend has some MAC knives I think they are much nicer. Super sharp and not as blunting to the food with the thinner blade.
MAC is the way to go for regular knives. Sure there is better with Damascus steel, etc... but they do not come cheap.
