Why I love kitchen knives....

[DaveMartell]

To put it as simple as I can, I love kitchen knives because I have more opportunities to use them than I do with any other type of knife and because they're used to provide sustenance to those I care about.

I agree.I use my kitchen knives more than any other knives I own.Oddly they're the cheapest knives I own too.I'll have to do something about that.

Yes I use my kitchen knives wayyyyyy more than any other knives, unless I go back to working on factory trawlers...probably won't happen this week.

Something magical about a Japanese kitchen knife.

Yep, that's also why I make more kitchen knives that anything else. This last year was the first time I started cooking whole meals using only my own knives. Feels good, though I still need to make a wider selection.

As a button I've seen puts it: "I love cooking, it's a socially acceptable way to play with knives and fire."

Feel free to share your kitchen knives with us. I'd love to see them.

BTW I love that Quote, will probably end up using it.

LOL. I've always felt that way as well - and I get to use them everyday. Mind you I still get strange looks when I sharpen my kitchen knives. You'd think they've never seen a diamond coated sharpening stone before

Agreed! I use hunting and outdoor type knives in the kitchen too. The fillet knife has become a versatile kitchen player in the meat department.
