A couple of months ago I sharpened it--with a block that looks somewhat like yours-- and I was slicking lettuce AND watching Oprah and I sliced the corner of my finger off, fingernail and all. Just a tiny bit but it bled and bled. One of the joys of a really sharp knife. I've been more careful since. And my Henckel knife is only the one man variety. I bought one for a gift the other day and thought, "Oh boy, a Henckel for only $15." I looked. He is the one guy one too. Now, do I give it, knowing it's inferior, or not?

It makes every kitchen chore so much easier to deal with. I agree, there is nothing better than a good kitchen knife. It makes every kitchen chore so much easier to deal with.

But I could really go for some decent steak knives. Cutting meat can be so difficult with dull knives. I’ve never had a really good set of knives. But I could really go for some decent steak knives.

Not even a name brand. Old. But man can it cut!! The one kitchen item I could not live without is my crock pot. I love it! Life is too busy - if I didn't have a crock pot, my family wouldn't eat. :shock: :lol: I have this one pairing knife that I would cry if I lost. Not even a name brand. Old. But man can it cut!!

I have a favorite for each purpose -- the best bread knife, best peeler, best tomato slicer, best cleaver, best skinning knife, etc. I have a similar set of the two guy knives and a scary rack of cleavers.
