Presto 08851 Dual Manual Knife Sharpener

Presto 08851 Dual Manual Knife SharpenerThe Presto 08851 put a sharp, uniform edge on a dull, mistreated 18 inch machete blade (1/16 inch thick). The sharpener had no visible signs of wear. I am sold.

I bought this on a whim, got it quickly and set out to sharpen all the knives in my house. It works great, is easy to use and now I'll need to be careful handling all that sharp cutlery!

I believe all this plastic is highly toxic for our environment and there is a lot of it in the packaging but I was sold because of the low price. In future will try do not support this anyway. The main reason for this decision was caused by watching a movie "Bag It".

Wusthof Classic 2-Piece Hollow-Ground Carving Set

Wusthof Classic 2-Piece Hollow-Ground Carving SetPurchased this for my wife to add to her collection of Wusthof classic knives. The carver cuts easily and like all their knives, stays sharp, has great balance, and holds easily in the hand.

This is a great carving set with a great price. If you are looking for this type of product and select it, it will be the best decision you make all day!

Even though the fork is only so-so (too thick, not curved) the knife is fantastic. Very sharp and thin, will carve very thin pieces of pork loin, but still beefy enough to take on a breast bone of a chicken. En Garde!

I bought my first Wustoff Claasic knife over 25 years ago. I always hand-wash and dry them immediately.

Aftger giving my first purchase as a gift; I bought another set for myself. I am very happy with the consitent quality of this line of khives. They are milled from a solid-steel blank and have a full tang. The handle is ergonomic and the blade holds a good edge.

F. Dick knives are made in the same factory in Soligen Germany and can be interchanged with these knives without question. I prefer the Wustoff Classic line but my son likes the Shun Ken Onion knives better. (I'm a much better cook so go with what fits your hand.)

Wusthof 9755Classic 2-Piece Knife Starter Set

Wusthof 9755Classic 2-Piece Knife Starter SetThere are really two main competitors in the high-end mainstream kitchen knife market: Henckels and Wusthof. Those who have used both usually have a preference. My preference (and therefore bias you should know about) is for the Wusthofs.

The Wusthof Classic line is the more conservative counterpart to the Grand Prix line. The only difference, however, is the handle style. I personally prefer the Grand Prix, but this is an issue of personal preference. The balance and grip of these knives are as close to perfect as I have found. For those wondering what benefits a higher priced knife provides, one benefit is that the blade (or tang) is one piece all the way through the handle. This makes the blade much stronger, and less likely to snap.

This set includes an 8 inch chef's knife, and a 3 ½ inch paring knife.

The 8 inch chef's knife, is a great knife. Wusthof offers three sizes of chef's knives, 6, 8 and 10 inch. For most home cooks, I think the 8 inch knife is the best choice. The 6 inch is a bit small for bigger jobs, but the 10 inch is too big for most jobs. While the 8 inch isn't perfect for all uses, if you are only buying one size chef's knife (and most people only buy one), this is the one I would recommend.

As for the 3 ½ inch paring knife, this knife falls into the category of overkill for me. Most cooks will get by just fine with the 4 ½ inch utility knife. There is really no notable difference in size for the vast majority of applications between the 3 ½ inch paring knife and the 4 ½ inch utility knife. I prefer the 4 ½ inch utility knife, but the 3 ½ inch paring knife will do the trick for most tasks.

This set is a good deal; however, if compiling a set myself, I would include the chef's knife and the 4 ½ inch utility knife. Judge for yourself.

In June of 2003, I wrote a blurb praising this starter set. My opinion from then hasn't changed, except the last part where I wrote that I couldn't justify Wusthof's price for those knive you don't use every day. Well, I lied. Since then I have replaced virtually every knife I had then with a Wusthof. Whether I was dicing veggies, carving a roast, or simply cutting up a chicken, I just got to the point where I could no longer tolerate using an inferior knife for the job; so I upgraded as I went along. All my old knives went into my camping box (you're supposed to be "roughing it" when camping, right?).

The knives in this set are superb. The problem is that after using them, you are liable to do as I did and spend lots of money later. Be warned.

Buy Wusthof 9755Classic 2-Piece Knife Starter Set Now

I received as a gift a set of three Wusthof knives when I moved into my first apartment. At that point in my life, I knew NOTHING about cooking, and could barely boil water. The knives sat in their box for several months before I finally got around to opening them. These knives, however, are absolutely amazing. The difference between my Wusthof knives and a "regular" knife is really impressive. I have been using them for over three years now on a daily basis, and have not yet needed to sharpen them. They easily cut through tough, sinewy cuts of meat, while still being sharp enough to tackle delicate fruits and vegetables without ripping at them. I have since, for the sake of experimentation, tried other "quality brand" knives including Henckel, but nothing has come close. I am now working on completeing my set of Wusthof.

I must tell you, I finally decided to pop for these knives as an indulgence; and then I had a bad case of buyer's remorse. You know, "How in hell could I justify paying 100 bucks for 2 lousy knives?". I like to cook, but I've been getting by with "decent", although relatively inexpensive knives. Anyway, that remorse lasted until I prepared my first meal. My God, what a difference. I can't justify popping for Wusthof for knives you don't use much, but for the ones you find yourself using every day, it's worth it.

If you're planning to cook, the cookware and knives will be your primary tools in the kitchen. For that reason, buy the best you can find it's an investment that should last 30 years and be used by your children, too. I looked at 10" chef knives at the store and they were cumbersome and too large. This 8" felt better, had a sturdy feel to it and you could sense the craftsmanship when holding them. These stay sharp, haven't shown any signs of wear or rust and are quality made and heavy. Great starter set, and will last you for years to come.

Farberware 3-Piece Poly Cutting Board Set

Farberware 3-Piece Poly Cutting Board SetThere comes a time in every cook's life that they realize that it would be easier to have multiple cutting boards instead of taking the time to clean and re-clean a single board multiple times just to make one meal.

This is a nice little collection. They all fit in the dishwasher, and even the smallest isn't so small that it has no utility. The bundle also was priced less than I found similar sized boards for in local stores.

They may not last me the rest of my life, but they are sturdy enough that I've already got more use than I paid for, and they've still got plenty of use left in them.

You're not going to get your picture in Better Homes and Kitchens magazine for having these in your kitchen. They make no fashion statement at all. But they do have plenty of utility, and isn't that what you're interested in when you need to chop, slice or dice something?

This is a good, very useful type of cutting board. The sizes provided are handy. However, in the set I received, the largest board was substantially defective: the color is irregular in places, and the thickness in inconsistent. The board is thicker near the edges than it is in the middle, which is a serious flaw since the knife needs to contact the board throughout the cut.

I've owned several cutting boards, and never had one with a defect. It's an extremely simple product, and almost all types are flawless. To receive one with two separate, easily noticeable flaws is very disappointing. I cannot recommend this product.

Buy Farberware 3-Piece Poly Cutting Board Set Now

I bought two sets of these. They're great for smashing wet things like handmade paper and pasted items. But both of the largest boards were warped--tippy on one side and stable but not flush with the table on the other. Still, for the money I'm very happy with the small boards which *are* perfectly flat.

Read Best Reviews of Farberware 3-Piece Poly Cutting Board Set Here

I agree with some earlier reviews: These boards have uneven thicknesses, and the cutting surface is not flat. This means the boards can wobble on the countertop. Farberware may be inexpensive, but it's no bargain. Spend the extra dollars on a KitchenAid cutting board, which is thick, perfectly flat, and has non-skid rubber grips. If you're on a budget, Ikea cutting boards are even cheaper than Farberware but still better.

Whenever I see the name "Farberware", I know I am assured of high quality cooking utensils. I was not disappointed with this 3-piece "Poly Cutting Board Set". The picture here does not do this product justice. They are not transparent, as they appear to be here. They are solid and sturdy,a good weight, make food prep and clean up easy, and are a great price to boot.

The three sizes (14-1/4x10-3/4,10x8, and 7x9-1/4)are just about perfect for anything you may be preparing(I might have like the largest just a little bigger for say, cutting up a whole chicken). Each has a convienet handle, making it easy to move around or even hang up if you choose. The paddle shaped board has a channel around it for catching juices that usually flow off the board. I used that one to cut a pineapple up recently and had much less of a sticky mess to clean up. It would have been great if the larger board had these channels too, for catching the juice from meats before they hit the counter.

These boards can double for serving fruits and cheese and are nice for slicing bread or bagels as well. They are a good quality with a nice textured surface,that,so far, have not shown any wear from the knives.They are easily washed, dried and stored away. Another reviewer mentioned that their's was not flat, mine are, and I would suggest if you happen to recieve a set that is not flat, it should be returned for a new one.

The boards are treated to protect them from odor and stain causing bacteria, but must be throughly washed after food preparation.

A good buy for your kitchen, making life just a little simpler...Now If I can just get someone else to actually do the cooking......

thanks and enjoy.....Laurie

Furi Cutlery FX 10-Inch Coppertail Cook's Knife

Furi Cutlery FX 10-Inch Coppertail Cook's KnifeI purchased this knife not from Amazon but directly from the company. It's sharp and it stays that way. I keep a honing steel handy but I seldom use it with this knife. The slightly narrower blade allows you work the knife easily into tight working areas allowing you to surgically dissect a chicken in almost no time. It is also very well balanced. I haven't had the need to file down the copper end yet but I believe that some people will find it quite useful. About my only con with this knife is that the copper is quite hard to keep shining brightly.

Japanese Combination Knife Sharpening Stone K-80

Japanese Combination Knife Sharpening Stone K-80These King Stones are legitimate Japanese Water Stones made in, you guessed it, Japan. They are extremely versitile and are the highest quality stones I have used. However, there are a few more good companies out there. Water stones are true to the craft of knife honing and sharpening and is a useful skill to teach yourself. I highly recommend watching virtuovice (YouTube Name) on YouTube for excellent tutorials on how to sharpen with stones.

The lower grit stones like the 250 and 400 are great for taking out chips in the blades or reprofiling the edge to fit your needs or preferences. As a camper who beats on knifes and axes, I really need this benefit to take out those chips and these stones do so beautifully.

A good stone grit to breach the gab between the lower grits and the finishing stone is the 1000 grit. This will help smooth out the edge and give it some great sharpness. It also makes finishing the edge with a 3000 or 4000 grit stone an easier and less time-consuming step in the process. Finally, you should use a leather strop with a green and black compound to really get a good edge.

Bottom Line and Reccommending Sharpening System:

1.) 250/1000 grit King Water Stone

2.) 3000 or 4000 grit King Stone

3.) Leather strop with compound

You only really need the 250, 1000, and 3000 (or 4000) grit stones with the strop. I have seen the strop put a better edge than 8000 grit stones. Keep in mind a strop is only 30 bucks or so, and you could almost spend $100 on an 8000 grit stone. This reccommended sytem will make a butter knife scary sharp if you wanted it too. However, the stones are expensive and will loose shape over time depending on how much you use them. But the time you use them will definitely yield better results than a spyderco Sharpmaker (I have one). I also reccommend some sort of a stone holder like the Steelex Sharpening Stone Holder. This works well and makes it easier to work with.

Nice stone for the kitchen. I use the #1000 side to keep my chef's knives razor sharp. Lay the stone on top of a damp towel, sprinkle with water, and working a knife is a breeze.

Stanton Trading 15 by 20 by 1/2-Inch Cutting Board, White

Stanton Trading 15 by 20 by 1/2-Inch Cutting Board, WhiteIt's not easy finding an HDPE cutting board! And this one comes in a few different sizes and colors. (Pay attention to that, because some sizes may not fit in your dishwasher (like this 15x20 version).

HDPE is not quite as soft on your knife as wood, but it's pretty easy on the knife. And it's certainly not as beautiful. But, while there seems to be some studies that show antimicrobial properties of some types of end-grain wood, you really need to have discipline and diligence to keep that highly porous surface sanitary.

And if you choose a composite like an Epicurean that you can put in the dishwasher, it's harder on the knife and some are manufactured with some nasty materials. Glass is without a doubt the best material from a health & ecological point of view, but it is also the worst on your knife.

And as an important aside, while wood can't go in the dishwasher and composite, acrylic and plastic can, that is somewhat of a red herring, as some dishwashers will not get hot enough to kill all microorganisms in what is likely a scarred surface. The truth is, if you are dealing with raw meats, you really just need to either spray/wipe OR soak in water with a little bleach and let air dry, then rinse. No matter the material.

Which brings me to plastic, if you have to sanitize with dilute bleach no matter the material, then you might as well use material that is both easy on your knife and that can place in the dishwasher. But most plastics will warp in the dishwasher. To avoid the warping you need high density polyethylene over just polyethylene. The former will hold up to heat while the latter will warp.

For me the pros:

+ Easy on your knives

+ Food grade material approved for use in commercial kitchens

+ Easy to clean and maintain for most jobs

+ Won't warp in the dishwasher

+ Not as bad for the environment as some composites

Outweigh the cons:

Not as good for the environment as using sustainable wood or glass

You need to watch for scarring over time and replace

It needs to be designed with a lip to catch overflow fluids

Overall, I would use this board for most jobs in the kitchen, unless you are a diligent and committed wood lover.

I had been looking for a nice white cutting board of this size for a while. I was not willing to overpay for one. This one was a great price and the board is of the highest quality. Order with confidence.

It doesn't have a rubber grip as I thought it did but it was half the price as those that did and still fit in my holster. My hands are usually wet in a cooler for extended periods of time and the handle despite the lack of rubber has enough grip to keep working with numb hands.

The color is no doubt tan. Its a little more intense than the picture shows.

Very sharp knife that requires only occasional honing(the edge will last years even with almost daily use in a work environment).

Rada Cutlery Tomato Slicer Knife, Made in USA

Rada Cutlery Tomato Slicer Knife, Made in USA, Aluminum HandleI love this knife. For years, my most unfavorite part of making a sandwich or burger was slicing the tomatoes. I tended to cut the tomato unevenly, to make the slices way thicker than I wanted them, etc. This knife has completely changed the way I make a sandwich. It's so painless. Even the most unbelievable klutz (me) can slice a tomato well with this thing. As a bonus, it's made in the good ole' USA and it's amazingly cheap. At this price, even if the knife dulled out in a year or two, I would simply buy another one--it's a great bargain. The last knife I tried to slice a tomato with was a much pricier one from Chicago Cutlery, and it didn't do half as good a job as this thing.

Updated 1/16/2012:

It's been two years since I purchased this knife, and it's still the only way I can slice a tomato without frustration. Surprisingly enough for a knife at this price point, it has maintained its sharp edge.

These are truly very sharp, good working knives. I was so happy with the tomato knife that I bought a 2nd one, the steak knife set, and the carving knife. Love them all, except: Just be aware that (now that I've had them for several months) the handles are brushed aluminum which gives a good offsetting weight in the hand, however, the shiny silver color turns dingey gray. If you don't mind that-especially bec now they don't match the silver color of the blade, then they are a great buy. I would give 5 stars if they didn't discolor. NOTE: I NEVER ONCE PUT THEM IN THE DISHWASHER.

I own two of these knives and have given several as gifts. They are perfect for tomatoes and for any other veggies or foods that need a delicate touch. I use mine all the time, and highly recommend them to anyone. Just be careful they are extremely sharp!

I started buying Rada cutlery at one of the big Home & Garden Shows because I was tired of cheap knives and of peelers that just didn't work. This tomato slicer is simply the best for the price you don't need to spend a fortune on the German brands this U.S. made knife is every bit as good at a fraction of the price. It does a superb job slicing delicate tomatoes and other fragile foods.

The knife stays extremely sharp I've nicked myself a number of times when I got too close to what I was cutting.

The only drawback, if you are into appearances, is that the handle will discolor if it is not dried after washing or if you allow it to sit in water. Also, these knives should not be put in the dishwasher if you care about appearance the handle will get darkened and somewhat pitted.

Okay, for those of you who critique reviewsyes, I know I'm using the same basic information for all the fabulous Rada products. If it really bothers you, please don't read any more Rada reviews I've written.

Kyocera Revolution Series 5-1/2-Inch Santoku Knife and Y Peeler Set

Kyocera Revolution Series 5-1/2-Inch Santoku Knife and Y Peeler Set, PinkI already owned the 5.5 pink knife and loved it. It's the knife I grab about 98% of the time for everyday use, and I cook a lot. Sometimes I get in the 'zone' and don't use my brain. You canNOT use any ceramic knife for hard or frozen foods. The knife comes with a leaflet that fully explains the do's and don'ts. I knew better but didn't do that and the blade snapped in a big chunk. This was totally my careless stupidity. I loved this knife so much I bought this set right away, with the peeler, at a better price I originally bought just the knife. I see this is available in white, black, or pink handle. I like the pink handle b/c it shows up easily in the drawerful of knives and utensils. No hunting for it, I want it at the ready. It feels comfortable in the hand. The knife never needed sharpening in all the 5 yrs I owned it. So if you just don't try to cut a frozen piece of ginger with it like I did, it will last you a long time.

These ceramic blades are VERY sharp, to the point of not even knowing when you have been sliced. I got a small cut on my thumb just from lightly running it across the blade, and that was very lightly.

We all know that tomato skins aren't thick but hard to cut thru with a dull knife. This knife sliced them up effortlessly!

Based on one week's worth of cutting I can confidently state that this will be my sharpest knife for years. And, who cares if they are pink?? Buying them this way, as a set, is very economical.

Again, watch your fingers because these ceramic blades are extremely sharp.

King Combination Mini Knife Whetstone #K40This stone is one of the handiest stones I have owned as it has two different sides at two different grit grades. I love the lanyard because it lets me hang my stone instead of taking up precious drawer space. Also doesn't get lost like other stones do. Great stone for the price, very affordable.

I am use to the old American Arkansas hard rock to sharpen. Never have I used a "mud" whetstone. None the less, this stone puts a very nice sharp matte edge on any blade using the right angle and stroke weight. It is of high quality, no pits or scratches. A few tiny chips on the edges in unusable area so nothing to worry about. This will not give you a polished finish, the 6000 range is for that, or acquire a honing compound that is suitable for this style of stone and go to town.

The length is a little short and can feel too small but if you angle the blade more towards a 45° angle and maintain a 50-50 draw and cut technique you will have enough room for any knife.
