I used to be super into my cooking knives, but after a decade of using everything from rubber handled target chef knives to 300+$ japanese art-work knives, I've learned that it's better to buy a 40 dollar chef knife every 3 years than a 200$ one every... 3 years.
- mypalmike 6y agoThis is meandering pretty far off topic but... Why do you need a new chef's knife every 3 years? I've had my reasonably-priced Victorinox for probably a decade. With routine sharpening using quality stones (they cost more than the knife), I don't see needing to replace it in the next decade.
- bbarn 6y agoYeah, If it gets babied and my wife never touched it. The reality is the tip is likely to get chipped, she'll forget it's the nice one and toss it in the dishwasher, etc., and it'll wear out.
