heah munk,

I was shopping for a kitchen knife for a christmas gift and I came
across these austrian knives, They are made from one piece of stainless steel
and they are a bit cheaper than global knives which have a one piece with a rolled sheet handle. You can be pretty sure they are forged with that handle shape. I know how Munk hates those nasty germs in his kitchen knife handle junction bits. This should fix you up...... they are called Furi ....not to be confused with Fury, not that they couldn't make a few interesting kitchen knives..... Might even be fun choppin vegies??? OK I'm way out there.

Oh yeah , I got a messiermeister blade earlier this year for my wife, I can safely say they make a fine blade and it holds an edge better than the heinkels we have. I will be gettin' another....

.
 
My main kitchen knives are from Spyderco, a Santuko and a couple of smaller utility knives (one serrated, one plain). I also have an older forged Sabatier chef's knife which, after sharpening, did a wonderful job on the Thanksgiving turkeys.

Oh, and let's not forget the old Mac bought in the 1960s (never needs sharpening, just draw the edge along the bottom of a china plate ....). It's still cutting away.


But my favorite knife, the one that takes the best edge of all, is a 6-inch funayuki-bocho Muteki by Murray Carter made of laminated steel, that I bought for $40 at the Blade Show several years ago. This is currently listed at $72.50 at (Kellam Knives.

Interestingly, all of these knives are flat ground, not a hollow-grind or convex edge in the lot except for the Sabatier, which I sort of convexed prior to Turkey day. And all but the Sabatier are made from very thin steel.
 
In the kitchen I have a couple of really nice Henkels along with some cheapies for abuse, but to be quite honest i rarely use them anymore. Most of the time i reach for a bilton or my JKM. if i'm fixing ribs then i grab the trusty AK bowie. However, my better half has informed me that once we get a full set of fine cutlery for a wedding present that my "smash meat with big knife. stick in fire. eat with hands." days will be over. Oh well, that'll just give me more high carbon knives to pamper and sharpen:) One thing my bride-to-be CANNOT dispute is using the ol' trust bowie for coconut duty. Now that i figured out the wrist action it'll cleave a coconut with a single blow. Every kitchen have one. If not for coconuts, then for an unexpected croc' attack.

I gots a coupla deeze recently.
One inch short of being full tang but it fits nicely in my hands.
Bruise that blade shape is the shape of the so called *Scalping Knife* of the ndn trading days. If the handle was straight it would be the exact same!:D

Bruise doesn't "hang out," perhaps if he had bigger feet?:rolleyes: ;)

After some testing of my own, I've come to the conclusion that while the AK Bowie is very effective for anti-coconut duties, the ultimate coconut cleaver is the 20" AK.

Make sure to put down a drop cloth first, though.
