Sorry, my knives are all from the thrift store or WalMart! One of these days I'm going to be able to afford a good set!0

I have my butcher block set of a variety of knives, but I like using a nice santoku knife for cutting/chopping/dicing0
-
I've been using Henkel's for years. Very good knives.0

We have virtually no consensus here. I suggest we have a good old fashioned knife fight to decide the winner. Now where are my sharpening stones....0

Sharp ones.0

Wusthof! I got the 3 piece set and it wasn't too expensive IMO. When you cook a lot, good knives are a necessity!
Edited to add: I ordered mine from Williams Sonoma when they were on sale with free shipping.0 -
8' chef's knife Wusthof or Henckels0
-
Cutco!
I used to sell these knives. They are awesome.0 -
Want to splurge on the best knife ever? Shun 7 inch Santoku.0

wusthof or henckels
They are very nice! It depends on what you like to use and what feels comfortable though.
If you want a comparison, have a look at Global and/or some other japanese brands that are generally a bit lighter and easier to use for some people.0 -

My chef knives are from Japan, and I have no idea what their name is or how I would spell it in English
However, my favourite go-to kitchen knife is a messermeister elite, a bit heavier, but I prefer that. They rate a bit higher than henckels and wusthof, but very similar. They have a better edge and are priced slightly better.
However, you need to try them out, it's like trying on shoes, lol. For instance, I hate kershaws, not because there is anything wrong with them, but because I don't like the way they are weighted, and they don't balance right for me.
I've been working in the culinary world for 10 years now, the one overrated knife I will advise against is a cutco. I have gone through 3 of them, the handles are terrible, they dulled so fast and getting them sharpened was a pain!
Granted, my knives get a much more intense workout than most kitchen knives, but they just aren't even close to worth the price.0 -
My mom purchased a 8" Gunter Wilhelm chef knife for me for my birthday! Can I say I'm in LOVE with a knife! It is balanced really well, is perfect weight and cuts clean and crisp!0

Anything CUTCO!!!0

I have a stainless wustoff chef's knife that I never use.
Its not sharp.
I have a 50 year old no brand chef's knife that I love, but it is at the end of its life.
The no name is carbon steel and very thin.
Most chef knives are not thin.
Good carbon steel and thin:
Super sharp can use this relatively large knife on relatively small projects like peeling a cucumber.
Bad carbon steel and thin:
Rust. And after 50 years the blade is nicked.0 -
I have two Cutco serrated knives that I LOVE and I would absolutely buy more if I had more money. My chef's knife is from Pampered Chef and it work's well for what I need. It comes with it's own sharpener in it's storage case.0
