Also, I'm interested in buying a cheese knife. I haven't seen one that looks faster than my current knives. If you have one that you like, post it.
>>580 I wish I had your kind of money and dedication anon. I just have 2 knives that I really like, both being victorianox. One paring, one standard chef's knife as well as a metallic whetstone. Do you get a lot of mileage out of that food processor? I have a bamix stick blender with the small processor attachments but it's not always enough for larger recipes that require milling/blending but it is much easier to clean and cheaper.

I only use a single knife for cooking, I sharpen this with a whetstone and strop with leather.
>>604 Victorinox knives are pretty great. More mileage than I'd like to admit as someone who obsesses over his knives; sometimes I just don't feel like slicing six carrots, two onions, and a bunch of celery by hand. >>605 That's badass. I've yet to try a clever like yours.
Apart from one santoku, all are garage sale, or chinese grocery store/warehouse bargains. You would be surprised how much quality you can pick up cheap, and that maintenance is more important in the long run. Has the added benefit of not losing my shit if someone else touches them.
OP here. I noticed that one of my knives isn't cutting straight down (as in perpendicular to my cutting board) so I'm worried that I've given it an uneven bevel through imperfect sharpening. >>614 How do you maintain your knives?
>>605 I'd like to see you peal a potato with that.
>>788 As expected - wasteful.
