Can we talk about footware?

My first thought was: "Footwear fetish"???

But i figured it was to change the subject, haha.

Back to OP, we have a set of Scanpan knives. Been on special a few times and after 45 years of using cheap stuff, got a set.
RRP $599.00AUD, on sale $199.00AUD. What a difference quality makes.

Does that mean we came "out of the closet"??

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.

I always thought most chef's carried their own set of knives and it's a case of woe betide anyone who uses them

I have a few Kitchen Devil knifes that are very good.

My observation is that most Chefs are like most cops with thier guns. Its just a tool for work and hardly gets a second thought. I cringe everytime I see a "chef"
destroying the edge of a fine knife with a grooved steel. I would poo myself if somebody introduced all those chips and microfractures to my polished edges

My pet peeve is whenever some of my friends invite me to cook at their place and to my dismay i find that the knives they are using are no good... makes me wanna bring my own knife next time i get an invite :sarc:

A good steel will not do those things to a good knife...

I think you confused chef's with psycho's. Oh wait a minute they're one and the same.

I collect very used and very old pocket knives, you know Ivory handles,pearl mostly small to medium sized. And leave then as they are just for nostalgia reasons.

If the steel is smooth enough and if the knife edge is soft enough you are right.
But most GOOD and knives and all great ones have edges that are pretty hard in order to fight abrasion and to support thin edges that cut really well. The carless use of any steel like we see chefs doing in movies and TV will in fact microchip the edge leaving what amounts to a weak serrated edge. It will cut like hell for about two slices.

Thin highly polished edges out last and out cut edges damaged by a steel.
