Do You Even Cook, Bro?

[RoyGBiv]

We need to plan a dfw potluck N Bourbon night.

Great idea. Let's chip in and send Stephanie a bus ticket on the big dog so she can come too.

Help.

I have a $250 budget for a new kitchen knife. (Or maybe knives).

I can chop and dice, but that’s about it. Would like a decent, general duty pair of knives (small, medium) for most everyday cooking chores. I would prefer a robust design that will hold an edge.

What is the Glock 19 and 26 combination of kitchen knives?

Victorinox kitchen knives are very good and comparatively economical.

Can you stretch your budget a bit for a third knife?

Shun Classic 3 pc set.

I got the Premiers for Christmas and they are an absolute treat.

Damn those look nice.

I think I’m going to order a basic 8” Chefs by Global:

Global G-2-8 inch, 20cm Chef's Knife

Ok price, not the greatest knife steel maybe (I dunno), but the all steel design seems like it would take some abuse. And for some reason the shape appeals to me.

Thoughts?

Shun Premier 2 pc. Santoku and pairing $250.

Shun Classic 2 pc.: Chef and pairing knife $179

I've always been happy with the chef's style knife and never had much use for the Santoku. That said, I'd be perfectly happy with just an 8" chef and a pairing knife for 90% of my knife work. Every once in a while I wish I had a cleaver and a boning knife, but not enough to go purchase. YMMV.

I own this one for many years. It has kept a longer edge, then some of my others in-between sharpening. I have found as the blade looses it edge my pointer finger pushes up on the end of the blade more then i care for. Attachment 27515
