my friend. what are you expecting. you posted the meme recommendation, so you obviously already know the answer /ck/ is going to give you. therefore what you are looking for is shitposting, which, as you said, you can find in the other thread, and also this one.

or is it attention? here is more attention. why so ungrateful?

Im genuinely asking and looking for people with experience with different brands, but you just want to be an asshat. Why do you got to be a troll and just help a fellow cook out?

I've had that pic related same knife for about 5 years now and it still works fine.

[Anonymous No.10821764]

I'm looking at a 300€ set of Victorinox knives, the Grand Maître or the Swiss Modern.

Just want a good set of knives that also look good, but I haven't even looked at Japanese steel desu

[Anonymous No.10821779]

>>10821764
they're basically a meme, if you know how to use a chef knife good, jap knives really arent necessary, you like fish just buy a filet knife and youll be set

[Anonymous No.10821788]

>>10821764
what set? i was thinking of just picking up one that was around 40 usd since i'd be the only one using it for home cooking, you know if theres a big difference in quality?

[Anonymous No.10821831]

super cheap: KIWI slightly less cheap: IKEA 365+ series decent pro quality. Wüsthof SilverPoint, Dexter-Russell, Mercer industrial knives.

[Anonymous No.10821833]

>>10821831
what would you say lasts the longest for the price?

[Anonymous No.10821835]

>>10821788
Grand Maître or Swiss Modern. I don't know if there is any difference other than the handle. Swiss Modern uses walnut, Grand Maître uses anthracite and both are forged steel while classic isn't forged and uses a fibrox handle.

Basically, Grand Maître and Swiss Modern look classy and sexy

With a good endgrain cutting board, a smooth or microgrooved honing steel and just occasional touch-ups on a fine stone a home cook wont be able to wear out any of those knives in his lifetime. For maximum service life you probably ought to get one of those super tall Chinese cleavers, those should last for generations.

Fun fact: Grand Maitres are made by Solicut in Solingen Germany, they have never been made in Switzerland.

>any old knife will do
>muh end grain
I sympathize with the practicality/good enough point of view. I also sympathize with the people who sperg over kato vs shigefusa and whether they're using the right mud stone to reveal the jigane in their hagane

what I do not sympathize with is people who don't understand the principle of "weakest link" and put all their autism into one little detail while ignoring the big picture

as long as you're not chopping on glass, it's fine. any old edge grain or rubber board is good enough. beyond that is autism, not that there's anything wrong with that but don't get confused

that will make my girlfriend feel better knowing they're German quality.

Germany still makes good quality things, right?

Yeah ... although globalization and the EU are doing their best to turn everything to shit here. I am glad we are out of the soccer WM, maybe that's a wakeup call for some people. Seems like nothing is going right anymore. Our politicians have traditionally used the WM distraction to sneak unpopular laws past the people, at least that was nipped in the bud today too.

An endgrain cutting board is the cutting surface that is easiest on your edge by a long, long shot, because the edge sinks between the fibers. Just dont twist a very hard and thin knife, for the same reason mentioned it is also pretty easy to get chips in the edge with such knives on an endgrain cutting board.

Tell me about knives
Wooden
Plastic
Forged
Stone

[Anonymous No.10824077]

>>10823432
I wouldn't say a long long shot, but perhaps marginally better than hard rubber. marginally

and at that point you're spending what, 3x the price of a low end knife? just to avoid re-buying that knife in 25 years, if you're particularly hard on your knives?

do you understand how ridiculous that sounds?
