Hi! I’m in the market to upgrade a few new knives (getting married and registering, looking for a chef’s, paring, and probably utility and a sashimi). I went to store and tried a few and I really like the light feel...

blocks don’t seem to hold the right number of knives, i.e., 3 chef’s knives, a long carving knife, a Chinese knife, whatever. Seems like it’s one big, one med. and a couple of paring knives. Good luck.

baking sheet. Let me tell you, that knife has seen me through my first apartment and crappy cutting boards, boyfriends and out-of-country moves. To this day, it it a staple in my kitchen. The only other three knives I own are a...

I have henkels and wustoff knives, both chef’s and paring. I don’t put the big knives in but do put the little ones in. No particular reason for my inconsistency, other than perhaps worrying about hurting myself on...

of these guys, although the guy who roams Westmount is not too bad. I suggest giving them one of your less favorite knives to sharpen before handing them anything of value. If they turn your cleaver into a paring knife,...

I have two old carbon steel knives, a 10" chef’s knife and a paring knife, that appear to be in good condition except that they are severely spotted and discolored. What can I do to bring their appearance back? Assuming...

have all sorts of boning, butcher, ham slicers, paring and fileting knives. They all get used every once in a while. The poor 8 inch Sabatier probably feels like an orphan. Nah. I don’t think height has much to do with...

I recently replaced a plastic cutting board with a glass one and have noticed that after only a couple of uses my newly sharpened Wusthof knives have become quite dull. Has anyone else had this problem? I do have a great butcher...

that knife, all the other knives I have are cheap crap. The wife (who is so not in to cooking) has suggested that I ought to buy a set of “good” knives. So I have been thinking about knives for a while, but am...

I use my 8" chef’s, a paring knife and my steak knives, which double as utility knives. Shun is my favorite brand, but brands are really a personal thing. A bread knife is a must even if you don’t find yourself...

I use approx 5 knives on a daily basis to prepare dinner. I have a 6" chefs knife, a santuko for veggies, and 2 different paring knives, plus a bread knife. I have a much larger blade arsenal that overflows a block, but most of...

.) Is the easiest way to handle the above to have four knives (paring knives are cheap; I am talking about the 8" chef’s knife) and four separate large wooden cutting boards? What if I have a butcher block countertop—I...

paring knife. But they are very fragile(mine lives in a box in a drawer and not in the block or kit bag with my other knives) . The blades on the Santokus are short. I don’t care for the weight or how they feel in my hand....

I’ve been asked to purchase new knives for my sister as gift from several members of the family. I plan to pick up a 10" chef’s, a bread knife, a paring knife and a filet knife. Am wondering about the Chef Cutlery...

I just inherited 5 Sabatier knives from the 60s – one 12" carver, one paring knife, 2 utility knives and one chef’s knife. I had them sharpened at Sur La Table and bought a recommended Wusthof sharpener to use with...
