Just thought I'd try to inject some life into this forum...

What's your favorite kitchen/chefs knife?
I love my two Mac knives. Cut like absolute magic, and are so well balanced.

I use Wüsthof knifes, I had to get them for culinary school. I dropped out but I use them because they are still in good shape.

Yeah. I'm trying to find decent knives for sushi and such
without breaking the bank of professional chef knives.

I use Henkels knives (twin cuisine collection). I got the ~12 piece chef's set when I got married. Their carving kit is nice as well. They are very nicely weighted and low maintenance.

I own a

10" Shun (KAI) Chef's Knife
10" Victorinox
Wustoff Trident Filleting and Boning knives
And Various other Victorinox Paring, turning and others.

All great knives that get the job done, plus I bought everything I needed for less that $1000.

The Henckels TWIN Cuisine 8" Chef Knife is my current favourite but I have a set and they all have their purpose.

Henkel or Trident or gtfo.

(although those ceramic blades made by what's-it-called are really really decent)

At work I use a set of victorinox , they are hardy, sharpen well and keep their edge a decent amount of time.

I had to buy scinelli for school ... i hate hate hate them ... atm they are my home use knives.

I got a ceramic knife the other day as a belated x-mas gift ... i like it so far will tell you more once I break it in ....

I would love to buy a Damascus blade someday... though my next purchase will probably be a 6 inch utility or chef knife vixtorinox wooden handle

We actually only have like 3 kitchen knives. They aren't too great. Obviously in the market for a nice set. Nothing to elaborate. Looking for something around $100ish. Any suggestions?

victorinox all the way best bang for buck ..... 10 inch chef blade will run you about 60ish canadian plastic handle you can shell out a little extra for a wood handle (which in my opinion is well worth it!!)

I'm quite attached to my Henckels 5" and 7" Fine Edge Pro Santokus, I bought them to use at work (in a kitchen), and I like them enough that I'll use them at home too. They're not expensive or fancy by any means, but they retain a sharp edge for quite a while, and slice with very little resistance. Next I'm going to look for a chef's knife between 9" and 11".

Like others, we have Wustoff, but you need to sharpen them to keep them effective. I got them when I worked @ Crate & Barrel so they were deeply discounted. I think the Henckels are probably the same quality but come cheaper. Currently a knife in our rotation is a 6 dollar job we got @ kroger, so really just go w/what ya got unless you know what you are doing.
