I have MAC knives, they're quite good.
|
I use some 20 bucks for a full set kind of knives, which tunred out great. Top quality knives are probably well worth it for professional cooks, but for your home, nah, as long as you keep them sharp, it won't relly make much of a difference.
Of course, when it comes to survivial, hunting knoves, etc. then it's probably worth shelling out some $$$ |

I will say that using pro knives is a bit easier though, they have some more weight to them and can definitely get things done quicker but as you said, if you only cook here and there at home they aren't normally worth the price. I'd spend the money on getting better stoves. |
Depends what country the henkels are made. Some are just garbage!!.

I don't even know the name, I just grab a sharp knife. I've never been a picky chef.
|
Global, reasonable priced, light weight, sharpen easy, hold edge
|
I use a single Zwilling Henckels Professional S chef knife.

apparently the engineering used in the expensive ones is overrated. How much you saving? |
Henkels. Need to buy a second chefs knife
|
wusthof :2 cents:
|
I have a mixed bag. Favorite has to be a Victorinox 8" Chef's knive. Nice and light. But I also like a Cutco 9 1/4 chefs knife, but its much heavier, It gets used for more for meat than anything though. Paring knives I usually get cheap because I sharpen a lot and go through them so quickly
|
My fave is my 8" Wusthof chef's knife. My backup is a 10" chef's knife from my Hamilton Beach knife block. It does the job as I keep it sharp, but it's heavy and poorly balanced for my hand. The Wusthof has a lovely handle and balance to it.

I use a sharp one
|
Bought a set of "Miracle Blade" knives at Canadian Tire a few years ago. Best $29.95 I ever spent. I am 100% serious. The chef's knife is perfectly balanced for my big hands, the carving knife goes through a roast like warm butter, chopping knife and steak knives are all razor sharp, and all of them are as sharp today as they were when I bought them, none have neededed sharpening yet.
When other guys talk about their $300-$800 knives I just smile. |
GFY Chef's what's for dinner? I don't care what kind of knife you use to cook for me. I don't hate.

Zwilling

What is the best way to sharpen them at home?
|
After owning a restaurant and kitchen, I won't use anything but Wüsthof. Henkels are nice too.

I have had my Cutco's for almost 20 year. I use them daily and they are still the best knives I have ever used. Have bought more of them over the years and have pretty much every option covered now.
|
Cutco all the way!! I used to sell them door to door back in the day.
