Well, after 19 years of marriage I finally gave up on my wife ever cooking, so I dove in. The first thing I realized was how bad our kitchen knives were (Oneida made in china walmart special). I went to a local town fair and there was a Cutco rep there and the blades looked pretty decent so I forked over $800 bucks for a set and the guy placed an order. As I drove home it dawned on me that I had gone through a period a few years ago of knife obsession and remembered bladeforums wonderful insight to all things knife. So I got home dusted off my account and searched for Cutco... Uh oh, basically very high priced mediocre steel! I cancelled the order and started reading!
I stumbled across Mark at Chefknivestogo, and ended up with a couple of Sharpton stones and two very reasonably priced awesome cutting blades!
Tojiro Shirogami ITK 150mm Petty for $40
and
Richmond Artifex 210mm Gyuto for $60
Wow! These guys make cooking alot more fun!
Of Course my knife lust got reignited and now I am talking to some of the great makers on here searching for a custom damascus chef knife!
