These do look like very impressive knives.
I lived with someone who had a £500 set of them and they were just so good.
A santuko as your one and only knife, you maverick
find me a thing - I’ll chop it good.
Got some Joseph Joseph elevates cause I’m a cunt
Another vote for Robert Welch here. This is my go to knife (or maybe it’s the 14cm one): https://www.robertwelch.com/kitchen/kitchen_knives/signature_knives/signature_cooks_knife_12cm.htm
We’ve also got a longer one, but that doesn’t get nearly as much use.
I reckon Satuko is going to be the one for me.
Quite curvy, isn’t it?
I think the main reason we got married was to get people to buy us Robert welch knives.
Yes, but I like it like that - it means that the thicker, middle section of what you’re cutting is getting more knife than the easier edge bits.
Good for chopping but would’ve thought you’re best with a paring knife as a general purpose, no?
10 or 12cm, that would be my recommendation. I have Robert Welch knives and would second that suggestion
Edit: triple that
I got a whole Robert Welch cutlery set when I got married. It was months before we realised that what we had was the set that they make for Pizza Express.
really you want both, tbh.
Crocodile Dundee
Basically do everything with a 13cm Global except for carving & cutting bread and so on
Reckon you can get by perfectly fine with a good Chef’s knife (for the love of God go to a kitchen shop and hold them!) and a big serrated knife, to be quite honest
Your man Ramsay says feel and weight is most important – i.e. get down to somewhere you can see how they feel in your hands
