what Knifes do people use? - Page 2

I have a nice, hefty meat cleaver which my Grandad made a wooden block for. The two knives I use the most look like your pairing knife and your cooks knife Johnny. Would also like one of those vegetable knives. I like the handles on the Globals, so might go for them. Would like to have a try first though as they're a lot of money.

Any of the bigger John Lewis's's's or House of Fraser should have a knife expert to hand and should be able to let you have go with his chopper to see if you like it or not. The one in Bluewater does.

I have a set of Sabatier, what do people use to sharpen their knives? I have a 'Carborundum' (I think) stone that I use dry, I'm sure its not ideal though....

Just on a steel. If you've got good quality knives you'll need a very good steel or you'll shave it smooth.

It's the big one I think I'll replace with a Sabatier, the little paring knife and the cleaver are awesome.

Nice chopper Jon!

I want a chopper. But I aint getting anything whist in this house. My wsabi, now has huge chunks missing out the blade and my sabatier has gone missing. Think there will be arguments in the Acid house tonight..

As well as the kitchen being like a dumb. Also my blender broke the other week on it's own apparently...

I would really recommend a Mino Sharp sharpener instead of a steel. So much easier to use and you don't run the risk of damaging the blade by not using the steel properly.

There are 2 - one for global knives and one universal one. Both around £25.
