Quote: cod'ead "It's blunt (or not properly sharp) knives that cause most cuts.
I love my knives and use each one for the purpose it was intended. I have a salmon knife and a boning knife that I bought from The Great Yorkshire Steam Fair at Haworth about 30 years ago. There used to be a bloke flogging vintage knives for very reasonable prices, he must be well-dead by now but maybe someone has carried on the tradition, it's always worth a look.
I dumped all my Sabatiers once I discovered Global and Satake knives but I'd never get shut of my carbon steel boner& salmon knife, similarly, with my carbon steel cleaver bought from Wing Yip's about 20 years ago.'"

We have a set of Sabatier knives at home and they are really good. We've got a steel and a chantry sharpener, I prefer the chantry sharpener to the steel.
