Just a few of the dishes we have cooked.

You're just upset that you cannot defend your personal views -- which are erroneous. You cannot defend yourself so you start whining cries of "troll, troll!"

For rejecting your personal opinions that cannot be backed-up by facts? Only losers resort to ad hominems...

Why are good knives only forged? I read people denigrating bolsters and thick blades so why is forging so important? You're only giving your own subjective personal opinions. How about something objective? I'm well aware of the strength/reliability differences of the products produced by...

How much more? $5? $10? $25? Often times those "hand-made specials" are nothing more than marketing foof. Yes, good knives indeed, sadly priced far higher then what they are worth.

No, that's not always true. Whether or not you want to admit to it, some knock-offs are of high product quality. I'm not defending the practice, but some knocked-off products are good. "Made in France" means no more than "Made in Germany, "Made in USA", "Made in Switzerland", "Made in Japan"...

Good response -- not. For one of these ever so hot asian-style knives it would be something like: * Stamp or laser cut a blank from coiled/sheet carbon or stainless * Timesaver deburr * Emboss name/model (or acid etch down the line after bead blasting) * Hand-grind initial cutting edge...

First "made in China" no longer means garbage. "Made in Japan" used to have the same connotation. No more. What "quality standards" are you talking about? I have seen some vaunted Sabatiers and Jananeses knives that looked like they were banged out on the edge of the railroad tracks with a...

Thanks!

Oh, yeah, those Sun Classics are gorgeous knives! I like all of Kershaw's offerings including the Shuns and even the Wasabis...

Do you mean ROACH belly knife?

Not the quality control guy -- the person(s) who actually MADE the knife, not the individual who inspected it. Too late by that time. I guess the person(s) who decided to ship that knife should also be ashamed.

Reminds me back in the 1980's when a Taiwanese company essentially knocked-off Ping's investment cast/cavity-backed golf clubs ("Tournament Models.") $89.00 instead of $400.00 for the actual Pings. I have no doubt that a capable manufacturer in a place like China could build high quality...

Just what is a round belly paring knife? Thanks...

I'm the daily cook for my family and a fairly serious weekend griller/BBQer and I'm curious about which knife I should think about possibly purchasing next? My current collection built from inheritances, gifts (hence the dupes) and a few of my own purchases may be viewed under my "images." It...

Thanks for the input...

I am looking for a low-priced 7" santoku and would appreciate some help in comparing a Wusthof Classic versus a Kershaw Wasabi? I have been happy with other Wusthof Classic knives that I own. The Kershaw Wasabi looks good on paper, but I have never held one in my hand. Given my fairly remote...
