What does your knife set consist of?

[Hoorenga]

There was a question about a set of knives in another post that got me to wondering what types of cutlery other people use. A photo of your favorite knife or set of knives would be fantastic. Also what you use to sharpen your knives with might be helpful to some as well.

Will add a photo later. I use a steel, and have professionally sharpened when needed.

You may think I'm a little anal, but I take my knives to work where we have microscopes and examine them. Any nicks get cleaned up by honing with a blank ceramic (alumina) substrate. That chit is harder than a wedding p###k. Then they get a honing with a fine stone. Never store them in a drawer where they get banged around.

Hope this picture comes through. The top piece is a ceramic rod sharpeing device I bought for a dollar at a grage sale. Two small rods are placed in a V. You simply draw the kinfe through it. Best knife sharpener I ever owned. Next down is my Hinckle honeing steel. Next down is a Dexter 10 inch chefs knife that I never use. Next is a Chicago cuttlery boneing and filet kinfe. Next in line is one of my favorite knives. It is a Hinckle bread and slicing knife. Good for slicing turkek. It has a scalloped edge. Next down is my favorite knife which is another Hinckle (6"). Below that is my second favorite knife, again a Hinckle. I was going to throw in my favorite paring kinfe but I think the wife is using it in the barn to cut the string on hay bails. No respect! You might think I'm realy big on Hinckle brand knives. Actually I'm not. They still make some great kinves but the quality has gone down. I just kind of ended up with them. Some one gave me the 6" chefs knife for christmas.

A little! Hell I never took that good of care of my straight razor and that baby was sharp. It could split a human hair down the middle. Dam near took my chin off once. What are you cutting with them knives any how?

I bought a set of Miracle Blades off of ebay, they do pretty good.

I'm a Miracle blade guy too! They have been awesome for me. Had them for a year now and they don't need sharpening.

Mostly my knives are centered around a Cutco Carving set. Other assorted knives include Chicago cutlery badly needing of sharpening.

 

[nmayeux]

I have a nice set of Hinkels inside, and I purchased a set of Chicago Cutlery for competition. Consumer Reports and the Brethren contributed to the later purchase. I also like the Global knives, but for the money I would probably by a set of Wusts.

Over the years I have put together a very nice selection of food service grade cutlery from the Dexter Russell's "Sani Safe" line. I have seven knives. These knives are very affordable as well as durable, light, dishwasher friendly and hold a great edge if sharpened and stored properly. I use a Chef Choice diamond hone electric sharpener as well as a few hand steels. I also have a small selection of very old F. Dick cutlery from my my Grand dad who was a butcher back in the 1930's. As long as it's sharp it works.

 

[Wayne]

I use a Buck knife and a Machete, and I tenderize with a flail.

 

[VitaminQ]

I tenderize with a flail.

LOL! That's got to be effective. Destructive, but effective. You'd fit right in in the SCA

I too have couple of pieces of F. Dick cutlery-from my father-in-law's butcher shop from the 30's also. One piece is a really great cleaver, the other is a real butcher knive, with a 12 or 13 inch blade, looks like a sword compared to most kitchen knives.

Here's my set. Always looking for it to grow.

Grandfather's Old Hickory True Edge from Ontario Knife Co.

[DeanC]

Set of Forschner's from cutlery n more. Got a filet, boning, chefs, cimeter, cleaver, and a granton slicer. I have a pro sharpen them, here in KC I use Ambrosi Bros

 

[Sawdustguy]

I got a full set of Henckels Pro S knives. I didn't have a choice, it was given to me as a gift last Christmas. I did buy a Granton Slicer for the set. Good knives for me and my purposes. A less expensive set would have done just fine but it was a gift so I didn't argue.
