Anyone REALLY into professional cooking knives?
My brother (Trench, lurcher here on CP) bought be a VERY nice Tojiro gyoto from http://www.japanesechefsknife.com -- consequently, the gift that keeps on giving. Not only do I have a very nice knife, now I've gotten to be quite snobbish about the knives I want. No longer will Wüstoff do -- I want better.

Anyway, he turned me onto this website from a Japanese maker... VERY cool: http://watanabeblade.com/english/

They come in handy if you ever need to cut a beer can in half.

You might want to look closer, Cutco ain't no Ginsu.

I've got the Ronco showtime knives. Set it, and forget it.

I'm not going to get into an argument about Cutco. Cutco is a fine knife, and their warranty is probably the best you can find. But they aren't quite the quality I'm talking about.

So these Watanabe are supposed to be the bees knees, but you can get a 6 knife set for $200?

I didn't say they were the bee's knees. I said they were beyond Cutco. What you're looking at is part of their standard set... try these:

http://www.watanabeblade.com/english...ascusknife.htm $950-$1,400
http://www.watanabeblade.com/english...schefknife.htm $1,000-$1,100
http://www.watanabeblade.com/english...esecleaver.htm $1,400
http://www.watanabeblade.com/english.../engraving.htm $475
http://www.watanabeblade.com/english/pro/cleaver.htm $320-$340

Go to the ultimate blades or the professional series. Smaller knives hit $100 in the pro series, larger ones up to $300 or so. Single knives. Ultimate series start around $500.

since im still running the warehouse while they try and replace me, i use it daily to cut boxes and break down skids/boxes ect.
i also use it around the house and farm for sundries and such.

eat my grub w/ it when the women folk arent around.

FTR the tang on the gunsite is equal to a 4C custom.
