Knives

Anyone go to cook at a friends house and just cringe when you reach for the knives and find some shit grade chicago cutlery they bought in college 10 years ago and have NEVER sharpened?

pic is the opposite of what im talking about

I was JUST about to make this thread. Just copped a set of whustof classic ikon:)
although I'm not sure why I would need both a chef's knife AND santoku. Anyone know the real difference or useability between them?

I can hear my neighbor's never-sharpened knife slamming down most evenings.

i personally feel that the santoku has more weight on the blade. really a nakiri would be better for veg prep than either.
A chef knife will be more versatile.

did you actually buy a set
are you retarded

I lost my good knife outside while cutting grass. Im using one I snagged from goodwill until I save up enough money for a new one.

your attempt at humor fell short.

My room mate has this fucking terrible set of cheap ass serrated knives that he bought for something like $10 around 10-15 years ago. I don't know how he can stand to use them, but he does. His cutting boards are completely covered with scratches and gouges, as are his equally cheap and old shitty plastic plates and bowls that he refuses to get rid of and continues to always use, even though there is a full set of real dishes in the same cabinet.

I don't see the problem? It has a 8 inch chef's, 7 inch santoku, 6 inch utility, 8 inch bread and a 3.5 pairing knife.
And my autism didn't like the idea of mismatching knives so i just bought a set.

Anyone know if there are Wizard/Wizhard knives available for home use?
