another chance to post my magnetic strip of norminess... Henkles international, wustoff, mundial and Zwilling...
I'm adding a 10" forged chef knife in a couple days.
I should get a japanese chef knife to cover my bases.

(I have serrated and fibrox handled shit too, but those are in a knife block on my counter, and none of those are worth showing off... Not that the henkles international stuff is either)

my knives
Got a bunch of edge guards from aliexpress a few days ago, and looking to get a knife roll later on, incase i need to take them to work. As it stands, they literally just rest on that magnetic strip 24/7 for the last 5 years.

lotta cheap henkles junk...

I own a bunch of normie house-wife BS...
-Zwilling 5star pairing knife(i would NEVER buy this. It was some safewawy deal where if you save enough stamps from transactions you'd get free zwiling shit. I gathered all the ones my extended family saved and got this pairing knife and a zwiling steel)
-Zwilling pro 7" chef knife(bought on sale from bed bath and beyond, also using that 20% off coupon. Total cost was $55cnd, which i'm happy with)
-Mundial pairing knife(Found it at a junk store, new in box. Was maybe $3. I only really bought it cause it matched my other henkels international knives which i did not get a pairing knife with)
-Wustof slicing/petty knife(bought from a junk store, in rough shape)
-henkels international (brazil) slicing/petty knife(bought from a junk store, rough shape)
-Henkels international (brazil) 8" chefs knife(bought from junk store, rough shape)

I cleaned up and sharpened the 2nd hand used knives best i could using a 600/1500 grit stone. All together not a bad deal i think, considering i only really spent maybe $100cnd total.

Should also add i dont actually use ANY of these. I have a shitty kitchenaid 8" chef knife i use for everything that i dont give a fuck about, which i keep it razor sharp.
Based on how i use knives, i really wouldnt re-do all the shopping around and deal searching i did for whats on that magnetic knife holder... I'm more than fine just using a shitty knife i sharpen myself every couple months... Even if what i own is a great deal, it does me nothing good just sitting on my wall gathering dust.

my collection. Time stamp is obviously old now. But i'm too lazy to take another pic.
left to right:
zwilling 5 star pairing knife.
Zwilling pro 7" chef knife
mundial pairing knife(I dunno.. Shitty made in spain knife. Feels like its the exact same quality as henkles international, also made in spain... prob. the same factory)
Henkles international carving knife(8")
Wusthof carving knife (8")
Heknles international chef knife (8")

The only ones i bought new are the 2 on the left(zwillings). Everything else was just bought from 2nd hand stores and poorly sharpened with a shitty tool-grade whet stone.
