Damn, was looking for the long serrated knife
Grabbed two, great prices, anyone know or experience on keeping sharp. Mixed reviews on their sharpeners, people saying they damage the knives due to the roughness of them.
whetstone is best but check on youtube and see if you are interested.
It requires some practice and could be fun if you are interested.
And it's an essential skill when you want next level of knives.If you want a quick solution, get minosharp 2&3 stage shapener, not any other brand shapener.
The downside of shapener is damaging knife body but it only takes 10 seconds for sharpening and easy use for everyone without any whetsone experience.Hey BatmanAU, I use whetstones to sharpen my globals. They are a decent knife and you can definitely get them crazy sharp to the point of push cutting into paper and shaving. I use naniwa chosera stones which are fantastic but are more on the expensive side. Shapton pro stones off Amazon are also great and a little cheaper. If you want even more budget friendly a King 1000/6000 would be a good place to start.
So with proper technique and whetstones can you turn regular knives (eg IKEA or Victorinox) into a kitchen samurai and keep them relatively sharp for long period of time?
Keeping in mind the usual care procedures eg wash and dry immediately, don't use the knife for striking hard material etcFor sure, but the steel type will dictate how long it will retain an edge and how much maintenance is needed to keep it sharp. My suggestions is sharpen on a quality whetstone (1000/3000 or 1000/6000 or whatever you have) then maintain by stropping with a leather strop with compound (green works well) or plain leather. You can use a steel as well for softer knives but do LIGHT passes as not to reduce the sharpness by vigorously scraping it, once its more dull then you can if you don't want to touch up on a stone.
This is just my suggestion, there are many ways to achieve a sharp knife which require more or less effort.
Watch burrfection on youtube if you want to go down the rabbithole of sharpening.@mymilkynipples: I bought my Atoma 400 from burrfection on black friday 2020 =)
Currently have a Shapton 1K, Kasumi 6K and old jeans for the strop. I tried repairing a super blunt knife and couldn't get it sharp hence I asked. Might need more passes on the 200 grit.What do you think of Cliff Stamp? Dude apparently knows his stuff but his method are different from well, everyone else's on youtube. I wasn't game enough to swipe the blade on the stone so aggressively as he did and he just used one very rough stone. It'd grind away so much metal for sure.
Few other contrarian things he said
- He didn't bother looking for the burr before turning the knife over, and simply checked that the edge 'isn't reflective anymore' - didn't work for me.
- He elevated the sharpening angle at the end, wouldn't that blunt the edge? This is another point that isn't agreed upon or echoed by others.
I have their 3 stage sharpener. Never sharpened a knife before it so my experience is very limited, my knives look scratched/possibly damaged after using the sharpener. I probably did something wrong though..
Thx got another three in addition to Amazon Santoku, although already have a set. Great for gift.
Is it ok to give Knifes as gifts?
I don't see an issue as long as above 18 years old.
Not sure if it's issue for some tradditions and it's surely not for all the occasions though, but believe my parents would be happy to get good knife for everyday use and last for a long time.In my head it's tradition to give a coin at the same time so it doesn't 'cut' the friendship.
Any chance anyone has any codes to try for further discounts? Thanks!
Great prices, did a quick but if research sounds line the Ni one's are the one to get with the same core steel but a thinner angle and heavier bolster
Hmm do I need the paring knife or the utility knife?
not really from practical perspective, $5 victorinox is fine for paring knife.
paring knife at $30 is not as good value as $50-60 18-20cm cook/chef/vege knives
I do have gobal paring and utility knives from a set and I wouldn't buy them seperately.
Agreed. Utility knife is better value.
grabbed a ni for the heck of it :) thanks OP
Same. I have the 7 piece set from a decade ago. The 14cm vege knife is a little worse for ware (chipped, been dropped a few time), so picked up the 16cm fluted ni knife as a replacement (which should be perfect, as I found 14cm just a tad short). Should fit in the bamboo holder thing, but if not, I'll whip out the trusty Dremel :)
knife noob here
assuming I have the victorinox for paring, and if I need only two general purpose knives (meat, and veggies), which of the two should I be buying?
Thanks18 cm Ni vege plus 20cm Ni cook
darn the 20cm ni cook does not seem to be 50% off
are titan forge any good compared to global?
it was but should be most popular one so sold out first.
No, gobal is better
18cm ni vege plus 16cm Ni vege or 16cm Ni cook or 18cm santoku
Are these good quality knives?
Err are these crazy good prices or? - Looks like sold directly by Catch so can do another 10% off using the Student portal ;)
