Tojiro DP Cobalt Alloy 3-Layered Chef Knives F-807 and F-808

By

These two Tojiro DP Cobalt Alloy 3-Layered Chef Knives F-807 and F-808 are my favorite all-around no-nonsense knives, 7 and 8 inch respectively. Actually I use mostly the shorter 7-inch F-807, in my humble opinion it's second only to Wüsthof CLASSIC Extra Wide 16cm 4584/16, judging by performance, ergonomics, maintenance and universality. The Tojiro DP Cobalt Alloy 3-Layered … [Read more...] about Tojiro DP Cobalt Alloy 3-Layered Chef Knives F-807 and F-808

Toledo Kitchen Knives

By

Visiting Spain I could not miss opportunity to get acquainted with the Spanish kitchen knives. Spain is the home of Arcos, one of the oldest European knife manufacturers. Toledo has been know for centuries for its steel, swords and artisans. Almost every historic novel I read in my childhood featured a rapier or a sword "made from the finest Toledo steel".

F.Dick 1905, Paring Knife (Officemesser), 9cm or 3 1/2″

By

Bought on my recent trip to Munich, the F.Dick 1905 paring knife is everything one can expect from a paring knife - versatile, small and extremely sharp. The handle has these distinctive and easily recognizable F.Dick brandmark steel rings. I bought it for 40 euro which is bargain considering the knife quality. Actually I regret not buying as well the F.Dick chef's 8" knife … [Read more...] about F.Dick 1905, Paring Knife (Officemesser), 9cm or 3 1/2″

No Sabatier company owns Sabatier brand and yet the name Sabatier has become an industry de-facto standard as a superior performance professional service knife.

Deglon Ceramics Knife Sharpener, 9-Inch

By

The Deglon Ceramics Knife Sharpener has very smooth milky white surface, something to the tune of 2,000 grit by feeling of it. Yet this smooth feeling does not make it any less abrasive, even the light stroke of the knife leave black steel residue on milky white surface. I love this tool, it's bit more abrasive than Wusthof Diamond-Coated Sharpening Steel but it's still a very … [Read more...] about Deglon Ceramics Knife Sharpener, 9-Inch
