I was wondering if anyone else is obsessed with Fine kitchen cutlery or custom knives in general.

Knives are one of man-kinds oldest and most useful tools yet so few people master them.

I just stropped all my kitchen knives on 9000 grit leather backed sand paper to polish the razor thin convex edges. My Bark River custom kitchen knives cut like lazers and are such a joy to use. People are just amazed when they try them for the first time.

Any other knife nuts here?

No need to be insulting I was just being silly; I guess some really have no humor.

No problem mate, I've been told I have a strange sense of humor and I try to curb it but I often fail; you're correct, the inerwebz is a hard medium to convey some ideas through.

My apologies. :o

I don't have a knife fetish, but I was a cook/chef for 25 years and I do have an appreciation of a fine knife. My pet peeve was going to work in a new place and not being able to find a decent knife with any kind of edge on it. A dull knife is a very dangerous tool. I finally bought myself a set of quality knifes and used them when I worked. I can pick up any one of them and shave.

Wait!.... I might like these Bark River Knife: Kitchen Knives - KnivesShipFree.com

I have a complete set of Gerber Legendary Kitchen knives ... but at 3 to 5 dollars (each) for sharpening, it gets expensive.


Those are the ones I have that entire set in Black G10 handles with brass pins. (limited edtion) I also use Shun and Wustoff.

One thing that has imporved all of them is going to a thin highly polished convex edge.

I also keep to Busse INFI steel knives I have modified to be useful in the kitchen.

This vendor you found for the bark River knives is very honest and I recomend them highly.
