What are some good kitchen knives?

Budget?


When I was a butcher, all the shops I worked at used this brand, they sell kitchen sets. Held edges for days.......we would sharpen them maybe once a month? But would hit em on the steel at least once an hour or so.....

This was my baby I used all the time, rarely did I use anything smaller. I just learned how to trim with it.

What are some good kitchen knives?

Quoting my last post on similar question

Here’s my input as a professional chef for over 15 years who has owned upwards of 15 different chef knives ranging from 100-600 dollars each.


Shun is complete **** for Japanese brand, it’s the house knife of Japan it is not professional grade and it’s edge retention blows.


Sharpening is the most important thing, i still work with improving my whetstone work and I’ve been working with Japanese almost exclusively for the last 10 years. Their are upwards of 15 different bevel types used In Japanese knives and you want to sharpen along the same angles your particular knife was forged with. If it insist on going Japanese still I recommend misono ux10. I used to buck going with them experimenting with a prettier massmoto, a cool Ryuzen, bunch of hipster smaller names cool knives.

But the fact is the misono ux10 remains the single best when it comes to sharpness, edge retention, ease of care, won’t discolor etc.. and it’s reasonably priced. I keep mostly carbon hipster esque knives at home (pure carbon just gets sharper and finer) but for work it’s exclusively misono ux 10 at this point. Minus my yanagi. If you order through Korin you can even ship it back to them for resharpening. I highly doubt you will even dull one of them with months of use in a home kitchen.

German is just easier to sharpen. I can teach Somone to get a German knife razor sharp on a tristone in 10 minutes. You just move the burr around re edge and straighten then cut with the burr. Where as with Japanese knives you shape the blade itself and snap off the burr between stones.

Doesn’t really matter what you buy with German knives they are cheaper I recommend going into William Sonoma / sur la table and just cutting around with what you like.

This is the knife you should buy if you go Japanese

Please do not waste twice that on a pretty garbage shun that will end up a butter knife.

Edit best 3 knife websites are

(Old school)

https://japanesechefsknife.com The hattori custom knife is my favorite knife I’ve owned only from This website, I would still recomend the misono.

Mr bourbon had an excellent suggestion on victorinox for a 35 dollar German knife that will outperform similar 100 dollar knives and can spend the savings on a professional tristone oil stone which can keep it scary fukking sharp and is quite easy to learn how to use

Also pics of my knives

Just got an Esee 4, hnnnng

Thanks bros, these are for x-mas gifts and budget is like 100-150 per knife so nice but not outrageous. Something the average person can easily sharpen without having to work it on a stone or anything like that but that is aesthetic/a good gift.

I like sharpening steels myself when I was butchering.....stones are great if I had the time but usually just hit it twice on the flat sharpening steel would work wonders.

Just got a general question here.

Been thinking of buying a KBAR lately as a mate of mine wants to teach me some techniques in regards to fighting with a knife. Any thoughts on that? What's the actual procedures in acquiring one? I found this site here, not sure if there are extra measures I need to take before purchasing.

In Australia so the method might be a different. In on any answer.

I haven’t the slightest clue what Australia’s laws are concerning medium sized fixed blades. I recommend you search for knife forum boards and inquire there. The best one I can recommend is Bladeforums. It also wouldn’t hurt to check with local knife shops about laws and availability if applicable.
As to Internet purchases, check with such sites as Knifecenter, Blade HQ, Knivesshipfree, Cutlery Shoppe, Smokey Mountain Knifeworks, etc to check price, availability and international sales.
Good luck.
