    You're cooking, but what knives are you using?

    So, I figured since a lot of us cook, and I am not sure if we have had a thread for this. What knives are you using in the kitchen? I just moved and am looking to upgrade my knife collection. I have one really good one I like to use, but living with a girlfriend is tough with one knife. We usually cook together and both need quality shit.

    Any recommendation on what knife, or knife set you would buy? Obviously not looking for the 500$ knives, but what do you guys know that would be a good buy from Amazon?

    LOL nice one bubbles!

    I actually have a knife service, I bring my knifes in to a shop every 2 weeks and they give me a sharp set and then 2 weeks after i do the same and get the other set back sharpened, and I just keep rotating the two sets, costs me 15.00 a month, best money I spend monthly
    I wonder if he still rotates his knife sets.

    I have Henkels, I can self sharpen at home with a chincy $50 2-stage sharpener and they keep a nice edge. Every year I bring them to a local farmers market and have them professionally sharpened.
    I write things about poker at my Poker Blog and elsewhere on the Internets

    The only knife I know the name of that I have is an 8 inch Victorinox chef's knife. Saw it well-reviewed everywhere I looked (plus it was on America's Test Kitchen, which I tivo'd the shit out of for a while), and you can find it pretty easily for under $40. I use it for pretty much everything.

    Weiss I use your mother's clit to cut everything. It makes everything taste like seafood but it's a small price to pay

    Weiss my uncle owns a knife sharpening business in Denver.

    I could probably get you a set of used knives that are incredibly sharp right out of a high end Denver restaurant, once they rotate them out.

    I have a Wustof which is great, and the rest are Chicago Cutlery. The key is to get them professionally sharpened once or twice a year.

    Oh Good Lord, is this your Valentine's Day story? Talk about a highly romantic day. All because of Poker Fraud Alert, they did it again.

    Why do you insist of fagging up every thread? Is it because you hate yourself and your life? Is that why you drown yourself in alcohol every night?

    No shit, at least Weiss's story is believable. He has a gf and she bought him some knives. Wow, so much better than some bullshit about how his gf is a 25 year old model/nympho that wants his 80 year old wrinkled nutsack.
