      <![CDATA[I too agree that knives are an individual thing; it's just like the old days when knights would try out blades that best suited them. A knife, just like a sword, has its own balance and weight, and so do people.

      <![CDATA[The only serrated knife in my mom's set was the bread knife, so maybe they changed through the years. I'm familiar with the purpose - and step-down in quality - of a serrated edge, that's why I was surprised to hear it in reference to these.

      <![CDATA[Thanks, ANM,<br />
Knife sharpening is a talent I always wish I had and that I respect in others. I just wish I was better friends with somebody who's really good at it.<br />
I've heard Corrieri's does a decent job sharpening and both good and bad reports about Davis Cookware in Hillsoboro Village.<br />
Any other recommendations from the gallery if I wanted to have 3-4 kitchen knives brought back to life?

That's where I got my ceramic honing rod, as well as an Apex system, which allows you to sharpen on stones without needing to learn to hold the proper angle, because it holds an angle for you. Of course, at 155$ to start, it's probably only a good idea for someone who has more than a passing relationship with their knives.

      <![CDATA[Cutco makes a durable utilitarian knife that's uncomfortable to use because of poor balance and the oddly shaped grips but, because they are serrated and made with high Cr steel, they hold an edge for a long time. If the aesthetics of a knife are less important than how long they will hold an edge then, Cutco is for you.

Before meeting him, I had never even heard of Cutco. Now I can't imagine my life without them.<br />
He gave me a huge set of 18 knives (10 are steak knives) in a block, plus kitchen shears.

      <![CDATA[I'm not much of a knife snob as I have a terrible habit of bringing knifes to work and losing them. That said, I use knives every day for cutting really thick crusted breads and I was given a truly awesome bread knife from a French company called Sabatier.

      <![CDATA[I have a MAC santoku, a German granton slicer, and Dexter Russell for everything else. About $60 in the MAC, and everything else is very utilitarian and "disposable".<br />
Cutco made a strong push recently- I've have three phone solicitations in the last 90 days.<br />
Cutco is good stuff, but I won't lose sleep if a D-R spreader accidentally goes home with another tailgater.

      <![CDATA[I have been loving my Cutcos for two decades now & I think we have sharpened them rarely. I'm sure I should do it more often, but I'm not sure I want/need them that much sharper!<br />
While I don't love their sales process either, you can now buy them online I believe, or in my case, you can buy them from former students who are looking for "real jobs".
