Ideal Food prep Knife in coastal invironment

[RX-79G]

Well, I guess that is up to the OP. Does he want a knife near impossible to sharpen or one made of metal that will be tougher, more versatile, and relatively easy to sharpen. I know what my choice would be.

The larger, heavier knife with the thicker blade, low wear resistance steel and an unhygienic folding mechanism for $70-$100 as a sandwich cutter? Yes, we know.

Sorry, I'm not going to argue with you over this. Looks like the OP made a choice on this and I for one would like to hear how it goes.

I couldn't have said it better. Except to add that the ceramic paring knife costs less than $10, or about the cost of two sandwiches if bought pre-made. So who's sharpening it in the first place?
