Tamahagane. I am very pleaed with them. People using Global are normie plebs with no knowledge about knives.

Wusthof

[Anonymous No.11959338]

Mostly Japanese western-handle, a mix of semi-stainless, stainless, and carbon. A few wa handle. An antique French chef knife.

Anything with pattern welding. Fad styles like kiritsukes, bunkas. The new generation of bullshit cash-grab brands like >>11959166

. Tamahagane? What kind of fucktarded name is that? Don't call it that unless it's literally made of tamahagane and costs an arm and a leg, which it doesn't, so it's basically fraud.

No, if you don't really care about knives why should I tell you what to buy? And if you do, you probably have your own ideas about what you like. It's like telling you what to drink, based on what I like to drink. Only assholes do that.

Is there a knife you would recommend to a beginner since apparently im able to bring my own knives to work and just about anything seems to be better than what's already there.

Not him and I’m not sure what your budget is but wusthof classics will serve you just fine whether you’re a line cook or the head chef of a three star Michelin restaurant.

I have the 850 cleaver that I use to chop chicken bones. They chip once in a while but could easily be sharpened. Pretty good for a cleaver that costs less than 10$.

Opinions on victorinox knives, ive had some of their knives for camping and hiking for years now, but never knew they made kitchen knives.

Cheap knives that get the job done but are ultimately disposable. Not a knife set meant to be kept for ten years like some other brands.

Try the IKEA 365+ 8'' chef's knife, it is actually a really nice knife relative to what it costs.

The cheapestgenuinely good knife you can buy is probably a Fujiwara FKM. This here is an excellent shop:
https://japanesechefsknife.com/collections/fujiwara-kanefusa-fkm-series
The Kagayaki brand knives sold by that shop are also pretty nice and offer a lot of bang for your buck.

No they are not. They are actually pretty easy to sharpen and if you take proper care of them there is no reason at all why they shouldnt last ten years as well.

[Anonymous No.11960551]

3 dollar knives and 3 minute sharpening system and you can save your conspicuous consumption for something people give a shit about. Those garbage farberware knives will shave your face for 2 months of use unless you own a restaurant.

Angry drunk luthier guy are you still with us? Havent read one of your rants and insults in months, I hope you are better.

On topic, no doubt even those knives can be made razor sharp, but they probably lack many of the other factors that determine the cutting performance of a really good knife.

I'm not kidding 3 bucks. I was going to give them as gifts. Buddy ended up in ER because he was fucking around with a razor sharp version. The inside of a thumb looks white, not red btw.

I can make any knife sharp. It’s more to do with the strength of the steel, it’s resistance to corrosion, ability to hold an edge, weight balance etc etc. a good knife can last a decade so why not spend a measly $150 on something like a wusthof classic ikon? If you want to be a pro then work with the tools of a pro. If you want to fuck around with $3 knives then good for you but I’d rather have better quality steel.

This is the 'appeal to quality' that made the Fyre Festival so great. If you're a neophyte you go with the hype. Henckels preyed on people who are susceptible to hype. Unless you understand the metallurgy, you're just going to get marketed to. I spent 40 bucks on knives and 150 bucks on a shitbox diamond grinder and another 10 bucks on leather and a few dollars on a green buffing compound.

>This is the 'appeal to quality' that made the Fyre Festiva
And that’s a false equivalency. The fyre festival was an expensive sham that delivered on none of it’s promise. A wusthof classic ikon is an expensive knife that delivers the quality promised.

You can pat yourself on the back all you want but i’m not going to agree with you.

Dude, I get wanting to own the mona lisa of knives. I just don't want you to be a multi level marketing victim. Look up Low Background Steel. If you can get a blade before the nuclear era, then I'll respect your choice. Otherwise you're just what PT Barnum was looking for.

Lol that’s hardly the Mona Lisa of knives. As far as price goes it’s still on the cheap end at $150.
