No need to buy a 1000 dollar knife unless youre extremely serious about cooking. Cooking and using a shitty 5 dollar knife is a horrible idea too though.

Best to get a good set of various knives for about 150-300 and a nice 20-40 dollar sharpening set

Why is a 5 bucks "Cheff" knife a bad idea? If the guy can resharpen it Everytime.

Literally 5 dollars? Probably won't have good edge even after you sharpen it.

Just get some Victorinox knives, they are incredible in terms of price and quality

Got one, like it. Handle is nice and also weight balanced. That + cheap steel and $10 stone and I'm good for a long time.

Sure sign of a shit blade. Hone/strop every time, yes. You shouldn't have to RESHARPEN every time you use your knife if you're using quality steel. Only once you notice signs of dulling.

What grit stones should I get as a beginner? I don't care about having an egde sharp enough to cut my arm hair. Just a sharp knife that can cut thin slices of tomato.

What is a good resharpening tool for just a home set of knives? My chef's knife has dulled and honing isn't restoring its edge.

it's a piece of fucking metal, I can understand more expensive pieces of metal performing well with less maintenance, but I don' think any knife would have a bad edge when you sharpen it twice for every time you use it.

>> No.9140448

>>9140412
That guy's an idiot, you're right. If you sharpen your knife every time you use it you will get a good edge. The more expensive knives hold the edge better and feel better but you can sharpen cheap knives to almost the same angle and thickness as an expensive one.

Pic related in OP is good enough for cheap and fast resharpening.

>>9139972
No need to resharpening the blade that much if you do it every time you cook, just a quick swep or two and that's it, literally a minute or two of your life to have a razor sharp knife Everytime you cook.
It's a good practice no matter if it's a cheap or expensive knife

Pretty good, usual cheap sharpeners like the OPs image have some kind of Quartz stone and another side with porcelain or Ceramic.

I use kiwi brand knives. Get them from my local asian supermarket for $3 each. Best knives I've ever used.
