What do you guys consider the must have knives? I am leaning towards the forschner brand knives but I am not sure which ones I have to have.

Brent with QN4U sells a great Forschner set at a great price, he's a west coast caterer/comp cook and a really good guy...

The set is around 150.00 and includes a 12" slicer, 7" santoku, 6" curved boner, a paring knife, steel, and a nice quality roll...

google QN4U

6" curved flex boner
10" chef's
12" breaker
14" Granton edge slicer

All Forschner

Craig you should have gone by Smoky Mtn. Knife Works last week while you were in Pidgeon Forge. They carry pretty much everything Forchner makes. That is where I got all of mine. Good prices too.

Here is the web site for Smoky Mtn. Knife Works. Their prices seem to be reasonable.

I've got a few JA Henkels International. Not the same as JA Henkels. Nicely balanced and easy to handle, don't hold an edge for chit. My advice is to stay away from the "International" variety. My favorites are a very old Dexter chef's knife that was my mothers, and a fairly new Wusthof slicer. Those two hold an edge for a long time. For utility (pairing knife) duty, my choice is the small Chicago Cutlery pairing knife. Nice thin blade that does, the job and cheap to replace. For a razor sharp flexible blade for duties like scoring a ham, it's hard to beat a Rapala fillet knife.

Your mileage may very.

Not to hijack the thread, but I did think of a follow up question.........

How do you store your knives? Do they come with sheaths? Do you have a pouch or bag? I was thinking about having a tool box with a removable tray and storing them in the bottom of the tool box. I'm not real thrilled with them all being loose in the bottom.

Mods: If this is too much of a new topic, please move as you see fit.

Not off topic at all in my opinion, we're talking knives here. I store mine on big magnetic bars. That keeps them safely separate from bumping into each other.
