Good set of kitchen knives - GoFuckYourself.com

james_clickmemedia · 11-17-2009, 01:22 PM

I am looking for a good set of kitchen knives. Don't want cheep but not super expensive pro ones either. I think middle of the line would be best.
Also what are the main knives I would need.

I am feed up with using cheep blunt knives when I decide to cook which is only once a week.

Admit it, who's pissed you off ??

cherrylula · 11-17-2009, 01:29 PM

As lover of fruits and vegetables we have spent a lot of money on various knives.

But the ones we use the most are all Pure Komachi

Kimmykim · 11-17-2009, 01:44 PM

Henkel or Wusthof make good knives in a variety of price ranges. Forschner makes a decent knife that will hold an edge as long as you keep it sharp.

PersianKitty · 11-17-2009, 03:48 PM

I've got Henckels Twin Pro S series... also their steak knives too. Love them.

Haven't seen you in a while, another vote for Henckel or maybe Fiskars.

Same here. You don't realize how important a good set of knives are until you have them.

Marialovesporn · 11-17-2009, 04:52 PM

I love 'm

They make cooking even more fun ;-), especially when they are sharp...

BaldBastard · 11-17-2009, 05:01 PM

Knives are an individual thing, size weight and balance, your best to go into a store and pick up a few and see what you feel most comfortable with.

Global knives are great for home users pick yourself up a diamond sharpening stone at the same time. Trick with the diamond stones is never let any moisture near them.

Gausche · 11-17-2009, 05:05 PM

Shun, Henckels or Wusthof.

james_clickmemedia · 11-18-2009, 05:44 AM

I think I will go with Henkels. However I noticed they have cheep sets at macys.com however from the reviews I read most of the sets they sell are the "international" ones which are made in china and not germany which is why they are cheeper...

Which range of Henkels do you guys think is best of home use.. I am lazy so sharpening will be something I will forgot to do as often as I should. That is the only reason I did not opt for the global brand...

I am the same way with guns... I have only had them cleaned once in 5 years which is why I like the Glock brand so much as they will still operate even if you don't look after them really well...

exactly this

Sarah_Jayne · 11-18-2009, 07:26 AM

I have given up on actual sets and just buy individual knives that suit my needs.

goldfish · 11-18-2009, 08:24 AM

I would buy Dexter Russels again, and I don't mean the ones you get off the shelf from Walmart. I have the Sftgrip set of 8 and love it!

Leshansom · 11-18-2009, 08:46 AM

Yeah, i know what you're saying about the knives man.

I've been using the same heavy bladed knife for around 10 years just because i chops nicely and i'm pissed off with all the other crap out there on the market. Wish i could tell you the name of it, but sadly it's rubbed off. The knife handle is now loose and the blade is slightly bent, but it's the best knife ever for chopping up chicken joints.

I'm sure you didn't need all that info, but i felt like sharing!

Good luck with the knives

james_clickmemedia · 11-19-2009, 04:55 AM

ok have narrowed it down to either the :

Global G Series
Henckels Twin Select

Am going to make sure to sharpen them as both are not cheep.

I have a full set of Shun Ken Onion Knives and love them:
7" Cleaver (Evil Looking)
8" & 10" Chef's
9" Bread / Utility
7" Serrated Utility
7" Santoku
7" Hollow Ground Santoku
3" Pairing
5" Utility
10" Slicing
8" Carving Set
Scissors + Honing Steel
4 Steak Knives

My wife thought they were the biggest waste of money until she used the bread knive on a warm piece of bread

Might be a big investment, but if you keep good care of them, they'll last forever.

Oh yeah... also buy a set... I just bought the block from W&S and started getting a knife here and there... wasted so much more money doing it that way...

I'm kinda OCD about what I cook with. I refuse to cook unless it's with sharp knives. When I moved country, I moved with my knives ;)

I've always used a Mundial - http://www.mundialusa.com/5100_individual.html
Probably the 10" at the top of the list. It's solid, holds a good edge, and will last a lifetime.

I've recently started using a Shun - http://www.everten.com.au/product/ka...nife-20cm.html
It's an incredible knife. Well balanced, very well made. Shun make some amaing knives - they're made by a Japanese company that traditionally made samurai swords, so they have the layered steel on the blade - which not only means that they hold an edge for an incredibly long time, when you sharpen them, they are incredibly, incredibly sharp.

Naturally, the only other thing you need to go w/ the knife is a steel, and the knowhow to use it. Cooking will never be the same ;)

Yeah dont forget a honing steel. What use is a sharp edge if it's bent over because you chopped with it on granite or something? Be like breaking a new toy on christmas morning.

Might as well get a machine to do it, I just got the honing steel for looks.

Bought a Chefs Choice Professional Asian Sharpener for the knives. Does a better job of sharpening and honing

Always liked doing it by hand. Takes 30 seconds and is kind of relaxing.

Just get a chef to teach you. The method / rythym is really simple, very quick.
It's pretty hard to ruin a knife, normally all you'll do is make it blunt, or in the worst case, make the edge jaggy. All things can be fixed

Yeah I still wash my knives the second they are done being used and dry them... I'm a little crazy...

dready · 11-19-2009, 05:27 PM

The only purpose of a steel is to keep a knife sharp. If you've been lazy and let it get dull, you need a sharpener.

Nah, then you need a whetstone. They're not complicated either

I sold those fuckers in hs and when I got the job I was so excited to make some money... little did I know I had to hit up everybody I knew friends of theirs to make the sales. I hate sales like that but did manage to keep a set for myself and sisters and parents.

These fuckin knives last a lifetime... any problem they will either fix or replace for free... for life. You asked the question what are the best knives... no doubt cutco's are just try and get a hookup w/out sitting through an hour long sales meeting. Also... do NOT put them in the dishwasher... it is the handles that will never wear... the blades will get dull real quick.

Those look really nice.

I have a set of Henkel Five Star cooking knives and I also picked up a set of Seki Ryu cooking knives at Homegoods for like $40 bucks. The Japanese set is like razor blades but the weight is very light.

Shun knives look awesome but a little pricey. That will probably be my next set.

Having grown up in the restaurant business I'll say that the most important thing is to keep your knives sharp!
