Any self respecting burglar would have their own 🙂

And even a Wusthof is mot much good against a quarter staff 😉 and the ability to weild it.

I only ever broke one of mine, the 12 inch cooks knife,

using it as a lever for something, think it was a leg of ham - yep snapped it, and they replaced it.Brand new one.

then I sharpened down the knife to an 8 inch cooks knife, but rarely used it - too small to be useful.

Mt Trident knives were bought in 1987, and had serious use, still got another 50 years I reckon

the 8inch general use knife is definitely worn though, but I use it most, so sharpen it the most,

One of my boning knives is like an ice pick now - had it since I was a kid, the other swibo boning knives, spose I used to replace them every 4 or 5 years?

My swibo meat slicer, looks like a machette LOL - think it's only my second one.

The swibo are just easier to get a quick edge on, and a finer blade for boning. trident is too thick and stiff for boning

the little vixctinox, just cheap maybe $10 each - nice and fine, which is good, but like the peelers, forever getting l;ost or thrown in the trash with vege peelings so replaced pretty often.

wot's post 17, a paid testymonial 

m'self , used wiltshire self-sharpenin' knives, for years.   taken a few back, and got free replacements .   no worries.

aussie design, as i remember.

At the moment I am in the process of working on a longer version one with a crystal ball that illuminates at the top when you stamp the end on the ground bit like the one Gandalf had in the movie except mine will have a brass bottom end and sort of pointed.

With the exception of the Cooks knives, I actually like F Dick better than the Trident, they've got a finer blade, but I already had Trident knives, so stuck with those mostly.

But the Heel on the F Dicks Cooks Knives is too low. but they're what my best friend has, (lots of German Chefs do) and he swears by them.

I like Trident Cooks knives the best

My grafting knife is a French made Sandvik.I use an Ezy Lap diamond sharpening stone on it.Sharp enough to shave with and even though I cut through grapevine trunks and the budwood,the knife only gets a quick onceover on the stone twice a day.
