Knife set.. any chef here?

[BlackWing1977]

Yes for yusheng. Knife cut one more crunch. Tastier.

He probably never cut a carrot using a blunt knife then switch to using a sharp knife... big difference.

Dick Premier Plus is

X50CrMoV15 steel alloy

The blade is made of the high quality X50CrMoV15 steel alloy. Each component of this steel has its own impressive features.


tbh not to shabby but by its HRC is 55-57 slightly lower compared to what the other mention.
Maybe chopping board issue?

Lmao, that really can destroy your knife

It survived, but under strong light you can see the edge rolled in places. I’d paid someone to waterstone away the factory grind prior and was heartbroken lol.

I got a case of XXXX beer in apology. Guy knew to do that or not get any more oyster sauce braised chicken outta my pot.

Carbon steel knife will be a beast to handle for a casual user as they will rust and also if the user is used to using blunt knife before, carbon steel knife in such a person hand used to using force to cut will likely make the person slice his finger.

My mum used to blunt knife all her life and came my place and tried to use my knifes which are super sharp, sliced her hand quite badly lotsa blood and from then onwards dun dare to touch my knifes again.

She probably cut through whatever she was cutting with unexpected ease. School of though says you are less likely to injure yourself with a sharp tool. On the other hand if you do injure yourself with a sharp tool, it will be a big problem.

I cut myself with an S30V blade two years ago. Let’s just say my fingertip has a different shape now. There was no pain, just an itch. 1/3 of the nail and nailbed came off.

Lots of these are display pieces. They look good, but functionally aren’t that great.

Definitely works of art worth displaying on a mantle. Maybe not for using in earnest tho.

Iirc damascus is expensive and a pain to maintain. Need to dry it after every use or will rust.

Imo if not professional any knife will do. Just make sure to sharpen and not let it blunt. Modern day tech already makes your ntuc and daiso knife 80 to 90% there. More expensive have diminishing returns. You're alot better off buying a knife sharpener and a honing rod. Both cost less than $10 and can probably last afew lifetimes

The $200+ and above knives are more for professional level if u use everyday. Always remember your cai png shop doesn't use a $200 shun to slice the 100 kg of veggie they go through everyday

They all use the classic cleaver for everything.
The finest of those started life somewhere else as a truck leaf spring.

Most are carbon steel. Not for newbies. Maintenance after business day. Carbon steel holds the finest edge. Only problem is it will turn brown overnight if not oiled.

I uses global or henckels but I'm not a chef

Why would you need engraving?

So won't lose it

 

[Adeline_Weilas18]

Getting a blade for a SO who is a chef or a hobby chef?

You gotta know what style they like to use.

I'm no chef, but I do like my blades. My main kit is from Shun. They be a 6 inch santoku and a traditional cleaver.
The santoku is smaller than the usual 7". The cleaver covers where it is too small for the job.

Kai Shun is not a cheap line, but is readily available. There are made from VG Max steel which holds a great edge whilst being relatively easy to sharpen,

Studying culinary. Using sharp knife really makes your cutting better.

then u should let your school recommend u a knife set. without knowing type of culinary u study, doubt anyone here can recommend u a suitable set

Very hard metal, after it's blunt, harder to sharpen.
Softer or too thin, gets blunt easily but easier to sharpen.

Actually, the real way to own a good set of knives is to first get a good knife sharpener.

 

[Geylang Prawn Seller]

get the zwilling made in japan series on amazon sg

not the best but probably the best value for money

actually no need per say good la
just decent and can own self learn how to sharpen
1000/3000 + sink top holder
day to day good enough

TS , the usual basic one should be the Mercer usually u see people like to recommend but u already using the germany one which seems like same steel

i gifted a family member whom likes to cook a lot a Fujitora (tojiro)

but see what you need and also budget also. some places cannot use wooden handles , then also the blade type ,
