Not so kitchen, knives!

[bearthedog]

These are my kitchen knives. Anyone else use any, not so kitchen, kitchen knives as a regular fixture? Not knives used once or twice as a test, but really kept in the kitchen drawer and treated just as bad as all the rest of the dishes?

Top-Bottom:Fiddleback Nessy, Breeden C.U.B., JK Nessy, Mora 711, Ontario Bait Knife

Fiddleback (3/32") Nessy was just too nice looking in the handle to keep in the sink and drawer. But it sure had it's time.

Breeden C.U.B. (1/16")
One stayes in the kitchen always.

JK Nessmuk is the Godfather of the kitchen. It has a thicker than normal kitchen blade (1/8") but has a thin edge easy to sharpen. Most people seem to like this style for food yet there isn't a kitchen knife I've ever seen that shares this design.

My peacemaker sits in our kitchen block. At 1/8" thick it is a bit thick for chopping veggies, but I really like using this knife for cutting chickens in half and getting the tough jobs done.

I wish I was a garbage man. They get paid better.

I guess you could say in a way that I am a garbage man. I pick up garbage alot and take it to the hospital.

What do you think of the Mora as a kitchen duty knife?

I have used a few outdoor knives in the kitchen but i do all the cooking here as my wife still works and I am retired. None of my outdoor knives hold a Candle to my Kershaw and Shun kitchen knives. I like the right tool for the job. I have a couple Camp Cook knives from JK that see camp kitchen work.

I use a Opinel #9 ,the long wicked looking one in the kitchen all the time.

We had a 100 year old carbon steel butcher knife we used in the kitchen for a while until we saw one in the Fort Carlton museum.

here is my block...pretty mundane. the wustof (regular french chef's style) is the one i use. the chopped off one is the one my dad uses. it started out as a 10" french chef's, but it didn't feel quite right so i chopped off a couple of inches...now he loves it. the big butcher knife i got for $4 at the local "junk shop" (actual name on the front of the store!). i use it for hacking up giant squash and pumpkins and for any other big cutting job in the kitchen...

The Mora 711 was going to be put in the trash from the blade pulling out but I decided to donate it to the kitchen. It can get sharp but doesn't hold an edge as long as the good 01. It can drag when slicing as a scandi may sometimes.

You are right, hard to beat a Shun for it's intended purpose.

Hi all,
Yep Rueben we have two in the drawer that reside there permently.
In the pic

the littler knife is a Kelly knife with a 4" blade length and is 3/32" thick and the other is a Peacemaker with the Hamilton handle that has a 6" blade length and it 5/32" thick. With these two knives kathy and I do all the cutting chores in the kitchen. We do use are edc knives in the kitchen too.
Kathy carries her Kat knife that she wears around her neck and I carry my
two ( soon to be 3 ) T H Bushcrafters Depending, upon the day and my mood I will carry either the 5" blade length one or the 6" blade length one.

Here are ours. My camp knife makes a great slicer for roasts, and will be used for the turkey in a few weeks. The next is a BRKT Prototype sheepskinner I picked up a few years ago, next is one of the first I made, resides in the kitchen as a utility knife, and last is an A. G. Russell Woodswalker that is a great paring knife.

Bryan,
I like the idea of a 3/32-inch Kelly! That peacemaker is asking to be put in the kitchen. It sure would look classic with a walnut or cocobolo handle.

John,
What kind of wood is on the top knife? Looks like a woods and Kitchen knife!

My main two in the kitchen are an Opinel paring knife (well, a few) and a 12" Tram.

Siguy that butcher knife is HUGE! Now you're talking watermelon

Peacemaker in block with assorted traditionals - Henckles & Wustoff's

I already ate dinner today (and that raisn bran cereal was delicious).....But can't resist a little modelling session.

Beta and max (my dogs) really agreed for the need to sacrifice a weenie...

You just reminded me of my Opinel Paring knife and Old Hick Paring knife. They sure are thin.

My kitchen knives are a Bark River Canadian Camp, Mountain Man and a Mini North Star. These are used every day.

My Pathfinder usually gets used in the kitchen, if any of my knives are used. Thin edge, 1/8" stock, and it has a great blade profile for kitchen work in my opinion. Sorry, no pictures, I'll go to the corner now.
