First tip, keep your fingers tucked under and let the wide part of the
blade ride on your knuckles.



This is highly amusing...you have to give cooking instructions to
Johnny Child?

I'm always open to learning something new about cooking! Normally I
do about 95% of the cooking
here. But with my foot the way it's been my wife has had to step in.
She's learning it's not all
that easy a job! It's a good exercise in mental PERT!

There are a few of those TV cooking guys who do pretty knife work.
Jeff Smith (Frugal Gourmet) was a great knife guy. I learned lots of
things from watching that show. Too bad he was a pervertÂ* ;-)
I have some Zwillings that even Harry would be proud to have.


Zwilling is a knife brand, eh? I have a nice set of kitchen knives I
use. They weren't that expensive. I do keep them sharp. My favorite is a
santoku I use on veggies. When we lived in the Jax area, I found an
itinerant knife sharpening guy who visited his restaurant customers in
his van. I stopped him once and he gave me his cell phone number so that
I could call and find out where he'd be on a given day. I'd take all my
knives in and while I was having lunch in his client's restaurant, he'd
do a great job on my knives.


Good grief. You can't even sharpen a knife?
No wonder you are so in favor of government dependency.

LOL!

I wonder if there's a National Brotherhood of Knife Sharpeners union in southern MD?

I sharpen them these days, but back then, the knife sharpening guy did a
superior job and for cheap.

My cheap Zwilling Five Stars have served well for many years. But, I'm sure Harry would look down
his nose at anything less than a set of Michel Bras knives to go in that fantastically perfect
kitchen of his.

After all, a guy did spend a whole day in his garage unpacking the cabinets. I suppose they were
packed in some very expensive cardboard also.


Harry does know fine cardboard when he sees it.

This is my go to knife for general chopping and slicing.
I think Judy paid a buck and a quarter for it.

I've tried the Santoku style, but it just never felt right. Been using this one too long:

Judy got a good buy!

The best US, union made cardboard. He sold the boxes for a nice profit,
I'm sure.

I also have a traditional 10" Chicago Cutlery chef knife and their
12" ham slicer (that I have had for decades) but I am getting pretty
used to the Zwilling. The sharp edge is a little straighter and it is
great for chopping.

I'm in the market for a small knife set for a grandson getting into an apartment while going to
Virginia Tech. CC has a nice looking set with Japanese steel, but then I saw it's made in China.
I've had a couple CC knives, but could never get them to hold a decent edge. Am looking at these
three sets now. This would be a Christmas present, so I've plenty of time to decide which.
