A radical theory, and leaving the world of expensive modern knives behind

I'd care to bet I can sharpen a knife better than you as well!

 

Most people here do indeed sharpen their knives.

 

Butcher knives are good for what they are designed to do, cut meat. They make real crappy pocket knives though. I have no intention to walk around sporting a 6 inch boning knife or a 10 inch steak knife. I'll leave them at work thank you very much.

 

OP, If I may offer some advice. Maybe spend less time thinking about knife skills and more time thinking about presentation skills. There are valid points here and we're here to read them, but not be lectured to or insulted. I want to know what a butcher thinks about knives, not what he thinks about the rest of us.

 

4 decades here and your original troll post with false claims is falling apart already...

 

I don't even really use steel any more for a knife. I just grab the nearest rock and smash it against another rock or my head until one edge is somewhat sharp. Doesn't rust, environmentally friendly, cheap enough (free) that if it breaks I won't cry, AND I get to claim moral superiorly over everyone else. Take that modern knives, point to me

 

Ah, you're one of those as well. That explains a great deal.

 

Sock sheath here we come!

 

This seems like a real “wrestling a pig in mud” situation.

I have knives in 52100 that are kitchen knives and they are great, in the kitchen. I don’t NEED 3V or 20CV or some super steel but I WANT those. Same that I can get by with a Honda Civic but you better keep your grimy hands off my Focus RS.

 

You take that back. Pigs are smart.

 

Gaston, is that you?

 

Strange dude.

 

I’m not trying to call anyone names, but OP seems set in his opinion, which is fine.

Again, no one needs a sports car same as no one needs a knife that is made out of steel that was designed to cut other steel. See how many sports cars get turned over if you start talking about needs.

 

There are many brands who make Cimitars. Are you saying they all use the same steel as Victorinox, or that you just can't find them?

 

One thing about me which is stupid though, is that I buy really crappy kitchen knives and high quality outdoor knives. I use knives everyday in the kitchen and complain about them every time.
