Currently, I’m making talisman sword/dagger for my baby. It’s interesting to make all these custom knives/swords. You can see some of the knives I’ve made at Instagram: boarforge |

We treat our Wusthof Classics pretty badly but they’re durable. I prefer that Shun aesthetic but I’m afraid we’d ruin them.

Talk of kitchen knives brings to mind a back-in-the-day story.
It was a hot afternoon in Kentucky and I had spent a grueling day of training at Fort Knox. I jumped in my hot car (without AC) for the slow commute up the Dixie Death Way to Louisville where our apartment was and my new bride. Being very hungry I was looking forward a big fried chicken meal, because my bride said we were going to have fried chicken that night. As I entered the front door, I didn't smell chicken frying - I looked on the kitchen counter and there sat a whole, raw chicken - My bride said that she bought a whole chicken instead of a cut up chicken and didn't know how to cut it up. Of course the Army-Infantry training in me erupted and I whipped out my bayonet and chopped that chicken into indistinguishable pieces and barked at her - NOW cook it! (PS - that was my first wife) THE END |

Yeah high carbon steel knives are nice. Can get em very sharp plus easier to sharpen. I’ll be making few more 1095 steel chef knives. Also have 15N20 + 1095 Damascus steel which I’m planning to use to make a knife... but that’s more like spring/summer project.

$130 is cheap for a good knife. A great high end chef knife, one that if taken care of, will last several life times, is usually in the $250-$350 range.
Quality kitchen stuff is worth the cost. |

It's the fanciest knife I've ever gotten so I'll probably be choosy how often I use it and what I use it on. Otherwise I have a super cheap, $20 or so chef knife from Target that I've been using the past several years that's still decent but just not the cleanest/smoothest-cutting. But I'll probably keep using it for stuff that I don't mind being a bit uglier. Yeah I've been using a super cheap knife for years. Saw this one recommended, so I figured I'd just buy it as an upgrade ;P

1. A good chef knife, 2. A good pairing knife, 3. A serrated bread knife, 4. A boning knife. Everyman need to know how to cut up a whole chicken. Ok, maybe not humfrz. |

About fifteen years ago I took a weekend job at a large antique gallery on top of my 40-60hr/wk manufacturing job. There used to be so many good quality knives and cast-iron pans back then. I suppose it’s all on eBay now.
