Damn, that is a nice one. Looks like it would be excellent for chopping all kinds of fruits, veggies, tubers, etc.

Santoku knives are generally my mainstay for cooking prep. Can't go wrong with Japanese-style blades I reckon.

You really only need three knives to be a competent cook:

  • Chef's knife
  • Paring knife
  • Serrated knife (for breads and shit, yo)

Make sure all three are of good quality and learn to sharpen them the right way and always make sure they are sharp before using.

That's my cut :dadjoke:

I use a santoku all the time but I’d love to get a really good 8-9” chef knife. I don’t want to spend a fortune and not sure what to get. I also always carry a pocket knife and it always amazes me that it always gets a comment when I pull it out.

In which kinda situations do you pull it out? Like when someone comes too close to you and you can press it at his throat and say something badass like "motherfucker"?

Haha, no, just to open a box or hand it someone who obviously needs it. It’s a small blade too. Not some crocodile dundee shit.

Knives are cool but people that sell knives are pretty weird.

I use to sell Cutco knives, for a couple weeks.  Gave the knife spiel maybe 4 times.  Then they wanted me to travel to another city for some Cutco cheerleading seminar, which obviously wasn't going to happen.  I think it may have been mandatory?  In which case, how I think it played out was I came to the office early in the morning, sat in front of the manager, told her I wasn't going/therefore no longer working for them.  To which her response was "just know that this is your failing, not mine!" I was pretty taken aback at how childish she was, and found it really funny/sad.  I just said "okay" and left.

*they do happen to make the best serrated knives I've ever used.  Really excellent knives.  I highly recommend them.

Lol. My Dad's old Cutco bread knife below, purchased from my brother circa 1990.
