Sunday Brunch: Watermelon, Feta, and Arugula Salad
I make this same salad with a few small variations: 1) I pickle some red onion strings in rice wine vinegar and sugar. 2) I make the dressing of grape seed oil and rice wine vinegar and honey. 3) I toss in some Prosciutto de parma. I am a HUGE fan of summer salads! I tried goat cheese once instead of feta...but feta is bettah

I guess I can weigh in here. I dont shop brands as much as functionalty, materials, comfort, and finally price. I look for VG10 steel, this stuff is so hard it gives an edge so sharp you could perform surgery on a house fly with it. I like 1 peice construction (meaning the blade tapers into the handle and the grip wraps around it). I look for good weight and balance this is especially important if you are a caterer or professional who has to prep mass quantities of things! Shun, Wusthof, Mishono, Global, are all really well made and yes..... some of these you might have to second mortgage your house to buy. Shop knife shows and pawn shops and you might find some of these at bargain prices. Best of luck!
