Recommendations for knife sharpeners
I would like to hear about your experiences with knife sharpeners, especially those for serrated blades. I keep my straight blades sharp with a steel, but am looking to expand as my serrated knives are starting to dull.
Thanks!
The ultimate kitchen essential. Who makes the best knives?
Don't love my Henckels Pro S (gift), and a good, comfy, sharp knife is my go-to device for desecation of every kind. Something that can stand up to the kind of abuse I dish out.
Wusthof, Kershaw, Global, Kyocera come up a lot. I've even had a lot of people say they'll never give up the cheap CUTCO knives they've had for years and years!
If you could buy any brand of knives, what would it be? Why?
If you could only have one knife...
I'm sure you are like me and love knives and chuckle a bit when you go to a friends home who has inferior knives when your making something in their kitchen. If you could only have one knife from here on out which would you choose and why?
Question of the Day: Best way to sharpen knives at home?
I love sharp knives... nothing is worse than a dull one! How to people sharpen theirs? By a professional? At home with a tool?
Best knives?
I have bought a great many knives over the years, from Wusthof to Henckels and Calphalon. Is more expensive better? My favorite chef's knife (at least right now) is a Tramontina with a 10" blade. My favorite serrated knife is a Furi (I don't know how to get the two dots over the "u") also with a 10" blade. These are much less expensive than the major brands, but I think they are better for everyday use. Opinions?
Question of the Day: What's your Favorite Brand of Knife and Why?
I'm sure we all have our "go to" knives ... personally mine's nothing super special. It's a 7-inch chefs by Henckels. I know, to each their own. Balance, weight, blade, sharpness are all important. What's your favorite and what makes it the best?
