Got one of these Victorinox Fibrox chef's knives, they are pretty nice and only $50, good handle, good blade, good design, easy to sharpen, utilitarian and simple.

Gorl you need to keep your knife and gun obsessions to blogs.

Everyone needs a kitchen knife maybe some other users will appreciate this.

Nice

Is there any way you possibly know what kind of knife Jo hid/ Kai stabbed Bonnie with, in the most recent episode of The Vampire Diaries?

It looks like one of those cheap Winchester bowies which often snap at the tang but don't ask such silly questions

What is up with your knife obsession

What's up?

I'll be damned if I pay $50 for one knife. I'm not a chef. I paid $100 for a Cuisinart block complete with kitchen sheers.

$50 is inexpensive, $100-150 is "normal", and that's pocket knives

I grew up with Wusthof knives in my mother's kitchen, and depending on where you buy them, they can be very expensive. We used to get all of our kitchenware from Macy's and never paid $50 for one knife. The average, basic, kitchen cook can do just fine with a set of durable, stainless steel cutting knives, that are easy to sharpen. My boyfriend has a Ginsu,block set in his kitchen that he bought brand new on eBay for $50, and they cut just fine.

I knew you'd be the OP

I've always wanted a really nice knife set but I keep forgetting

Does this have a set? I was thinking about this

I have some Thiers-Issard set which was like $400 for 5, frankly they don't seem as functional as this (the two main knives were $100 each).

But that's what I'm saying, this knife here is cheap $50 is entry-level pricing! It's not expensive. I spent something like $1800 (?) on knives in the last couple years, the average was above $50 and a lot of those were cheap knives.

That is a set never heard of them 'cos I'm not into kitchen knives, it does seem slightly suspicious they are giving FIVE VG-10 blades for $220 (I've paid over $150 for one VG-10 blade) you should check reviews on Bladeforums Chowhound and ChefTalk

You'd probably know this. My santoku is starting to get pretty dull and my knife sharpener isn't really cutting it anymore, any ideas?

You just need to sharpen it what kind of sharpener do you have?

I use ceramic knives. 3 quid at Lidl's and sharp as hell

I typically use a ye olde Swiss Army knife.

you need one to kill yourself?
