I was wondering around for what knives to buy to add in my collection. I found this site interesting that I wanted to share with you... http://chefknivesreview.blogspot.com/

Chef Ray helped me take a decision to buy JA Henckles mark

Henckles are pretty good. If you go to the right restaurant supply store, you can get the commercial grade knives at a much better price because they have rubber handles instead of carved wood.

Yeah Daniel... I have most of my knives from Henckles the 4 star ones. I have then since 1999 and they are still going strong. Although the price on this brand may seem high it is a great investment.

Re: Chef Knives around the Kitchen!

Your knives are your best friends in the kitchen, so buy the best you can afford, full tang, comfortable grip, well-balanced, no wood. I look at my knives in almost the same way I look at my guns: when wondering what to pay, you have to ask yourself - what is my life worth? And with your knives - what is your livlihood worth? I love Henckles, but I also have some Calphalon blades I reach for pretty regularly. For me, it's what feels good like part of my hand-eye team, and what performs like the best combo of workhorse and racehorse.

Re: Chef Knives around the Kitchen!

Well I have tried several kinds, Henckles were not the best, so far the ones my nephew sold me from cutco are by far my favorite, I have the whole set plus its the best ice cream server scoop I have ever had with a really valuable warranty... I use the paring knife most often and love it!

Re: Chef Knives around the Kitchen!

Amos is right, it has to feel right in your hand. I have 2 wusthof's, one 8" classic chef knife (expensive) and one 8 " hollow end knife (less expensive). For whatever reason, my hand is most comfortable with the less expensive one and that is pretty much all I use. I do have a Henckles chef knife but for some reason I can not get it very sharp using a stone.

Re: Chef Knives around the Kitchen!

I've also used some mellow-feeling, durable Wusthof blades that cut effortlessly. And FORGET any ceramic knives, too fragile and that is not bright in a working kitchen. However, I do have a ceramic blade on a mandoline and let me say, it is eagar to slice.

Hey Tony - have you taken your Henkles to a commercial sharpening company in Chicago? Perhaps one pass there might smooth the ripples of the edge and then your stones would work more satisfactorily.

Re: Chef Knives around the Kitchen!

Amos, no I haven't taken the knife to a commercial sharpener, I probaly should.

Have a brand name on that mandoline, I might be interested in that? I have never bought an expensive one, just keep replacing the cheap ones..lol

Re: Chef Knives around the Kitchen!

I have a Victorinox 10" chef knife that I've been using for about 13 years, and I love it. It really holds an edge for a long time between sharpening, so I just have to true it up on the steel periodically during my shift. It just feels like an extension of my arm, it is that comfortable to me. I had a Henkles paring knife, and I liked that too, but of course, as in most restaurants, it "went for a wander" and I haven't seen it since. I bought an inexpensive ($1.99) paring knife at one of those big grocery chain stores after that, and was so impressed with it, that I went back and bought 12 more just for the servers and dock crew to use.
