Indeed.

I saw the thread title and thought, "Failson with knives?"

It's really the only reason I bought it.
It's bamboo. Pretty slick.

I liked those, but felt a little blade heavy. These are crazy light weight, and I dig the damascus steel look.
I'm a bit weary to use them on my honing knife. I feel like... I'm not ready.

Wouldn't expect anything less from you.

Nice grab. I've been very happily using a Wusthof set for about a decade now. A good set of well-maintained knives makes cooking much more enjoyable.

Yes! I agree!
Something about hacking away at an onion isn't pleasurable.

As much as I love my chef's knife, I need a good santoku.

Fail. Learn to use cutlery properly so accidents don't happen...

Nice. Shuns are fantastic knives. We've ended up with a set of Globals (IMO incredibly comfortable and very lightweight) and a number of Wustof Classics which have more heft to them. A nice combo to have.

Suck it. It wasn't a bad cut. Just a little nick that I didn't even notice.

Ask any chef if they've cut themselves and then say that, and see who gets shanked

Hollow ground as in you can just lay it on the sharpening stone and it's automatically at correct angle for sharpening?

Didn't know you could buy hollow ground chef's knives.

I have a couple of hollow ground straight razors and they are a cinch to sharpen. My chef's knives OTOH are a pain.....

I have this one particular serrated bread knife that I always seem to nick my thumb with.

Remind me to never walk into a kitchen in Canada feeling brave...


But for your cut anyways:
