I like useful things and my new chopping knife is the best buy I've made in a long time. Makes prepping vegetables from carrots, onions and the like, to greens for salads, a snap!
I went for years and years with basically one kitchen knife - a good chef's knife, but this straight blade choppign knife is particularly good for chopping.
My husband is a freak about his knives...that he had before we married. He still has them and they are still razor sharp...because none of us are allowed to touch them.
Those appear to be quality well made knives. Of course sharpening them is also a Zen science only men know...do you use a steel or a strop?
@Ontheroad my husband in his wilder days moved to France and became a sous chef to work under some guy he admired. He knew the language and loved the work.
With a strop it takes him 10 seconds to return to razor sharpness.
He bought me my own set and keeps them " sharp", just not deadly
@candycane you absolutely won't regret it if you get one - the only downside is you have to remember to sharpen it a 15 degrees rather than the standard 17 degrees, and those couple of degrees do make a difference.
