Does it come with a sharpener/steel?

I count 12 pieces of cutlery in the photo. Is the 13th piece the wooden holder?

BTW, the Elk set really put the hook in me but I'm a low maintenance kind of person so the dishwasher safe Paperstone. (using the Prosite, the $160 vs $398 cost of each, wasn't the deciding factor, it was the dishwasher, which, btw, has a special tippy top shelf just for cutlery as if I was anticipating getting some swell kitchen cutlery when I bot the dw, and I was)

Well, for one thing......I'm thinking you'd never get stag anywhere near that good.

That's just the way things work.

I think these come with a steel, not exactly a sharpener or necessary, but traditional.

That would be the one with the handle with the round end, in the stag set......same position in the other set.
 
I doesn't mention a sharpener/steel in any of the paperstone sets that I see.

"Buck's Cutlery Set includes the 8" Chef's knife, 8" Slicer, Fork, 2 3/4" and 4" paring knives, 4 7/8" spreader and six steak knives. With corrosion resistant 420HC stainless steel blades and cabernet PaperStone handles this set is a great addition to any kitchen. Butcher block included."

I sent email to Buck and I'll post any reply as to whether or not the full sets include a steel as a part of the set.

Somebody, one of you, and you know who you are, has a full set already...
 
Ooops! I only looked at the contents of the paperstone sets. That's a good thing for me if I buy that elk set, I might get use out of a steel but I never ever use a fork on meat that I'm BBQing.

Could get better Elk horn or could get something else. You gotta love Mother Nature and trust in the manglers/makers.

I can't get anything over on you. Steel is straightener of edge. Sharpener removes metal. I stand corrected. Scheech! Keeping me honest. Thank you kindly.

I've been using 8 Victorinox 8" Chef knives and steel for a decade without complaint. Never used a sharpener, only the steel, and I use one, all color coded, blue one to open coconuts. I got a holder from Kershaw, steel from unknown and thirst for finer cutlery from you guys, you know who you are.

What I got now, some in dw, some dirty

Buck doesn't always proof read their verbage. Ther is some small potential for a surprise.

I can live without another steel as I have several, some unused but on the ready-line. Just wondering.

I figured, CA Dave, that you have several full sets of Elk kitchen cutlery. Sa matta you? :)
 
Nope, not yet at least. I have three sets of the Empress Trio and one five piece Americraft by Buck set. I'm sitting here pondering whether or not to order the 13 piece elk set. I could use my Pro Site discount for it. I don't care about it not being dishwasher safe. I quit putting any knives in the dishwasher except the stainless table knives many years ago.
 
Hey, I don't even HAVE a dishwasher.

Can't afford one.......too much money goes for knives.

:D
 
I have lusted after elk kitchen set from the moment I first saw in the Cabelas catalog, that is until I saw the price:eek:. I have sat back and thought about a full kitchen set....never had one. My folks also, never had one. My dad, bought each of his kids a 3 knife set for our kitchens many, many moons ago (very nice). I don't even use one of them any more....they just sit in a drawer.

In my wife's kitchen I use one of three knives for all of the prep/processing work. 1) Buck Spreader, green paperstone gift from MR. Buck, 2) An old fish filet knife for almost every cutting need from meat to veggies, 3) A small wood handled pairing knife. That's it, now why would anyone need a wood block full of knives in their kitchen unless you were a chef prepping and serving a small army of folks meals every day?

Also, why does a wood block full of kitchen knives have to cost so much? $400 for a paperstone set....LOL. I think $200 for a kitchen set is over priced. The Red Neck in me is saying "Hay...JB....a 119, a 118, and a 102 can be found on line for about $60 and that would be one hell of a nice kitchen set for anyone's need's"....:eek:...who said that...:confused::rolleyes:.

Good culinary art habit to acquire. Never wash the cutlery and you can scrap the knive's sides on the salad bowl to get instant croutons! :)

Before I was married to my lovely wife I would usually eat over the sink using my hands. This, familiar technique to some of you and you know who you are, kept dirty crockery/cutlery to a minimum. Not that you BG42 behaves in such a manner. :) You can't have too many knives. Keep up the good work.

JB you might consider having an actual opinion once in a while. :) :) :)

You might check out the Prosite prices on Buck's kitchen cutlery: $160 for a full set of paperstone and $398 for the same in Elk.

I do most of the cooking in my neck of the woods and find myself needing several knives at once to minimize cross contamination, garlic, raw meat, vegetables, food packages, and such particularly when my hyper-foody big Sis is in attendance/working in the kitchen. Who doesn't have one particular big knife for opening coconuts in a violent manner? Coconut opening music, turn up the bass, skip into (music from the disco scene in "The Social Network" movie, version without dancing women, sorry, family forum etc): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hOwLkZZdYY

yep, the pro site shows a small set for $157. The Elk set show up at just under $600 for me, how come you get a better price? I guess I get the complainers price...LOL. Anyway at about $60 each for an elk handled knife is not to bad if you look at from that point of view.

I WAS, however, a master of "one-pot" cookery. Even if you use a dish you only have 30 seconds of washing to do.

Still do it sometimes.
