My stainless basketweave large classic Sebenza and I weren't getting enough quality time together. So, I thought why not use it in the kitchen? :)

Let's see your "Kitchen Sebenzas"! Here's mine.

No, I didn't let the edge touch that cutting board. I cut the vegies in the air. Well, holding the vegie in one hand and the Sebenza in the other.
Although I sometimes cut on a relatively soft, throw away, plastic plate.

That particular cutting board, in the photo, is pretty hard. I just figured why waste the edge on the board.

It looks like a ceramic plate -- that's the sort of material we use to sharpen Sebenzas. :)

I use most of my knives in the kitchen as long as they are remotely capable of food prep. It's a good way of getting in that quality time, and learning the characteristics of handle and edge. I actually have no "kitchen" knives. My favorites have been my CRK Sable III, Dozier Canoe, Bark Rivers (several), A.G.Russell Fruit Tester -- a lot of variety because I don't like getting knives that are too much like knives I already have.

I also pull out a few slipjoints, Opinels, and Scandis from time to time and rotate them into service. These are actually among the most effective.
 
My two favorite folders for kitchen use are my Opinel #10 and Victorinox Nylon Solo, but I usually just use whatever my EDC is, which is generally a large Spyderco. My family doesn't know how to take care of knives. Just today I saw one I recently sharpened laying in the sink coated in chicken fats etc getting banged on other metal utensils.

A ceramic cutting board doesn't sound very useful. :)
 
This thread was just for fun. But, the cutting board made by, or just named, Epicurean. It may not hurt the edge of a knife but it feels a little hard to me. The plate is a cheap paper plate.

I thought this thead would be a fun excuse to show off our Sebenzas. BTW, it would be nice to keep the images
to some reasonable size for people not on a fast line.
