cluckdaddy76 Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Over a decade ago I bought a used set of Shun Ken Onion knives and used them during that time. I recently decided to sell them and apparently, they became collectors' items because ten years later I received more than five times what I paid back in the day. I decided to take this money and buy myself some even better knives. Here are a few of my collection, two are made by the smith Takeshi Saji and are my better pieces. Sharing these for their beauty, and if you are into cooking I highly recommend quality knives. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John C Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 All of my kitchen knives are German, however I like baking so I bought this Gude (7431/32) 13 inch bread knife with olive wood handle. It's a beast but doesn't flex at all when going through the toughest crust. John C. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROKUJURO Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 I mostly use my own knives. I like the Japanese style, and among these, the BUNKA-CHO has proved to be very versatile. None are stainless steel, but I never had a rust problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluckdaddy76 Posted March 8 Author Report Share Posted March 8 John, I love that bread knife. I have a decent one that I bought from JCK, but seeing yours makes me want to upgrade.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John C Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 I just realized I do have two Japanese kitchen knives - they are Kyocera Black Kyotop Ceramic (more expensive than regular because they are fired twice or at a higher temperature and are harder). You can send them back to Kyocera at any time to be re-sharpened but after 15 years I haven't had to!! John C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either you don't use the knifes or you only 'cut' butter with them. I also own Japanese kitchen knifes and can say one thing, story that it won't become blunt is just a legend. Any type of knife will eventually be dull if you use it. Knifes, no matter what type of steel or craftsmanship, will need sharpening if you use them to cut things. They are not lightsabers you know.
