Skagg2000 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 So I've had various Henkel & Wusthof knives over the years which have served me well, however in recent months I have bought a few cheaper knives which I have been more than impressed with. I bought a Mercer 11" Granton blade carver which is now my go too knife for so many reasons. I also have a Pro Cook gourmet knife for presission work which i'm more than impressed with. Whats your favourite knife for prepping meat? Forgive the spelling, i'm to many Glavia's in to care! Cheers n Gone Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaza the Instructor Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I bought a set of 10 Sabatier Knives and a pair of scissors in a block for £42 at Coscos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russelc Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) I have built up a collection of knives by Naifu and really love them. The are relatively cheap compared to other 'professional' knives but I cannot fault them. Recently bought their bread knife which really showed me how blunt our old one was. We bake a lot of our own bread and the old bread knife (Sabatier) was really crushing the loaf before cutting. With the new knife it is literally like cutting through butter. The one knife they do not produce in this range is a slicing knife so I recently bought a Procook Gourmet X30 which whilst cheap does the job but will need far more attention to retain a sharp edge than the Naifu's do. Just thought I would add that have just looked at the Naifu web site and they are currently only listing 3 different patterns of knife. I assume that this is due to the current crisis as I have more than 3 different patterns. Edited July 2, 2020 by russelc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotv Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Like Ice I have Zelite Knives as well, 1 x 12 inch Carving knife and a couple of different size chef knives along with a pairing knife. Looking to add their boning knife to my collection soon. Bought a leather chefs knife roll with a large pocket in the side that holds most of my bbq stuff, spatulas, tongs, brushes, mops. Really handy and a lot safer than keeping the knives in a drawer, as they're so sharp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skagg2000 Posted July 2, 2020 Author Share Posted July 2, 2020 Decent price at £101.35 for these Wusthofs if anyone is in the market https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wusthof-Classic-3-Piece-Knife-Set/dp/B00005MEGJ/ Cheers n Gone Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul6057 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I don't have a collection. I did buy my first proper knife last year, which was a Robert Welch flexible fillet knife. I have nothing to compare it against, but it's got a very comfortable handle, a nice sharp, bendy blade, and a decent balance to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 That is for filleting fish. The bendyness is good for taking off skin. Nice knife. Once you gave a collection you find right knife for right job has a benefit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul6057 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 It's also very good for trimming up things like brisket and pork shoulder to get off some of the excess fat and especially the silver skin. Many different things can be filleted, not just fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
