What is the point of comparing one 11 dollar knife with 3 $100.00 plus knives? Makes no sense.

You are comparing the entry level Henckels to top end knives it is a bad comparison

Bought a Wusthof Classic paring knife just to start out. I wanted to see how it held up and like so many others I went to use it one day and the handle is all cracked. So depressing

I like what you said about the fusionwood 8″ – perfect scoop! Question: is it perfect even when the scooping edge is sharp?

A lovely experiment you’ve proposed here, I’d be interested in following the results on twitter. I’ve always been a Wusthof fan but I have to say, the New West blade you have there is quite snazzy. Thanks for sharing and keep the results coming!

I got a set of Henckels for a gift whilst in university (30 years ago…lol). Used them ever since, but the damn things will not keep an edge!! I have to sharpen every single time I use them, which is really, really annoying. i think I will go knife shopping , but not for Henckels………

I have a $6 stone sharpener I got from Amazon and my favorite knife is a cheapie with a stainless steel handle. I just now looked at it to find the brand but I couldn’t see any logo on it, until I looked really close – Farberware Pro.

It doesn’t stay sharp very long but it feels really good in my hands. i keep the sharpener by the sink and seem to use it 2-3 times per month. i guess it all comes down to what you feel comfortable with!

I Love Knife Reviews. My personal choice for years was a heavy german knife until my world changed when i finally bough a Japanese knife. It sharpens so much easier. I tend to sharpen 4 to 5 times a week. But I always give people the advice to pick a knife that they like. It is all about whatever works for you and to keep it sharp and you mention multiple times. Thanks for the review, I will keep reading

We, for years cursed our knives. Finally the last three years we have finally decided to be grown ups and get real knives. Now we would not be without our three Global knives and a good steel for sharpening.

I can’t tell you how many times I talk about how fabulous it is to work in the kitchen preparing a meal with good knives.

Sure they are expensive but you slowly build the arsenal one knife at a time and each time you bring home a new knife a piece of crap knife goes in the trash.

Great reviews! I am finding myself becoming a pack rat when it comes to kitchen gadgets. I often bring my own tools to my mother-in-law’s house when I go there to cook. It is just nice to have the familiar and reliable with me.

Have you tried ceramic blades? If so, what do you think of them?
