Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Four Star Peeling Knife 2.75-in.

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Four Star Peeling Knife 2.75-in.This knife is my very favorite. Intended to be a peeling knife, I use it for so much more. I use it as you would use a paring knife. It is very versitle.

I bought this knife as an addition to sets of Henckels I purchased for my married kids. They were a bit intimidated by it's shape at first but quickly came to appreciate it as I do.

Chicago Cutlery Walnut Tradition 6-Inch Utility Knife

Chicago Cutlery Walnut Tradition 6-Inch Utility KnifeThis is, in my opinion, the best all-around kitchen knife you can buy. And is, to boot, one of the least expensive. Perfect hand fit, and the blade width and length are such that it is INCREDIBLY versatile. I use it to slice, de-bone, core, fillet, you name it. I can't think of another knife that you can use to core a small jalapeno pepper as well as slice prime rib. I've used mine daily since I got married almost 19 years ago.

Note: a high-end sous chef told me about 10 years ago that, if you pay 15 dollars for a knife, you are overpaying, and you only need two knives at most, a utility knife (like this one) and a bigger chef's knife for fine chopping veggies and smashing garlic. And then with a pair of squeeze tongs, a saute pan, a sauce pan, a stock pot, a collander, there's your kitchen, and you should pay no more than 100.00 total for all. And "You should actually pay less than 50.00 for the whole set because you should buy it all at a restaurant auction. Otherwise you're throwing yur money away."

This is a good knife for the price. To me it does not feel as balanced or precise as my 6 inch Henckels Four Star but then it is also a fraction of the price. The knife feels particularly appropriate for butchering meat.

I've owned several Chicago Cutlery knives and have never had a complaint about any of them, of which most are still in use. This one is no exception. Appears very well built and a quality product. No complaints. I highly recommend it.

Have been using my orignal knife set for 18 years. Couldn't ask for better. This one was for my daughter. When I visit I cook and can't stand not having great cutlery. A tip to all never put these in the dishwasher. It will ruin the walnut handles. Keep them oiled with whatever is available in the kitchen including bacon grease or olive oil. My grandfather used to oil his Saw blades with a fat meat skin from his smoke house. It worked

Want Chicago Cutlery Walnut Tradition 6-Inch Utility Knife Discount?

I've had this same knife for atleast 15 years. I have used this knife for just about anything in the kitchen. Since I am not living by myself anymore I had to buy 2 more just to be able to cut something. My original knife is still like new and I sharpen it myself often. As with all wooden handled knives, hand wash it, do not throw it in the dishwasher. The heat from the dishwasher also messes up the edge of the blade anyway. Also use cutting board oil or mineral oil on the handle once in a while so it does not dry out and crack. Chicago make good quality knives. I love this knife.

Chroma Kasuni Diamond Sharpener

Chroma Kasuni Diamond SharpenerExtremely disappointed with how the product arrived. The sharpener seems to work fine, but it arrived with scratches and scrapes all along the sides and top. I certainly wouldn't recommend this seller.

there are chepper products out there that will do the same thing. i personally perfer a wet stone over these sharpeners. dose it work? yes, but not worth $70. for one you can get a good diamond steel for $30 and a sharpener of this style for less then $70; though i wsould recommend a wet stone and you learn how to sharpen it that way and a diamond steel is always good to have on hand for those quick edges.

Al Mar AM-UC4 Ultra-Chef's Utility Knife, 4.75 in., Cocobolo Handle, Plain

Al Mar AM-UC4 Ultra-Chef's Utility Knife, 4.75 in., Cocobolo Handle, PlainI am very pleased with the performance of this knife. If you are new to high-end kitchen cutlery, you are in for a pleasant surprise. If you have yet to experience VG-10 steel and it's 60-62 Rockwell hardness I can only describe it as like cutting with ice. If you look closely at the edge of this knife, you see that it is mirror-like, not coarsely ground. I have five of these in different sizes, and while I'm also a fan of Global and Shun, I don't have five of either of them. To me, this knife is the perfect combination of Japanese blade tech with the looks of high-end German cutlery.

Messermeister Pro-Touch Tomato Shark

Messermeister Pro-Touch Tomato SharkI work in a professional kitchen and our tomato shark went missing, after 2 weeks of using my paring knife to core out a box of tomatoes a day I decided I would invest in my own. I like other Messermeister products so I picked up this one. The grip is comfortable.. If you are going to use this product make sure to hold your thumb on the metal behind the useful end. If it were me I would not get this product again.

Fox Run Cheese Knife

Fox Run Cheese KnifeI bought this to go with a slate cheese board but the cheese board was broken sent it back and got a different sort of tray for this knife that was so awesome.

I had a similar knife that I liked very well and wanted another. Most of those offered are way over priced. This blade was reasonable and does a great job on cheese and is also good for fruit.

Wusthof Classic Ikon Cook'S Knife 16 Cm

Wusthof 6-in. Classic Ikon Cook's Knife.I have knives from the Henckels Pro-S, Sabatier Grand Chef, Wusthof Classic, and Shun lines. I was curious to try the new Wusthof Ikon line, and I have to say, I'm hooked. There is a substantial premium over the regular Classic line of knives, but I'd have to say it's worth it.

Aesthetically, the new design is more pleasing, and has modern, flowing lines. The classic Wusthof red sticker is formed into the blade itself, so no more of the sticker coming off during washing! Also, the tang extends all the way to the bottom of the handle, ending in a sleek metal cap. Lastly, the bolster is much thinner, making the knife easier to sharpen.

Out of the box, my Ikon was as sharp as my Shun Nakiri. A few swipes on my steel made it even more so. After an hour of cutting, I greatly appreciated the new ergonomically designed handle. It really makes prepping much more comfortable. The overall balance is skewed slightly towards the handle, but not noticeably so.

In conclusiona great update on the Classic line, with functional improvements. This is now the first knife I reach for from my block.

I really like Wusthof knives and decided to upgrade to the Classic Ikon after seeing them at Williams Sonoma. I use this knife more than any others I have. The handles on the Classic Ikon are very comfortable and well balanced. Because this knife is so versatile, I don't have a need for other specialty knives. It does a great job on everything from slicing crusty bread to chopping vegetables and herbs. Amazon's prices were so good that I returned the knife I bought at Williams Sonoma (before using it, of course) and bought it on Amazon.

Buy Wusthof Classic Ikon Cook'S Knife 16 Cm Now

Awesome knife! Great balance. Wicked sharp and a joy in the kitchen. Perfect for most jobs. Not too big to cut fruit and vegetables but large enough to get through most cooking applications. Can't beat the price!

I recommend this line from Wustof. Its worth the upgrade from the classic.

WMF 9-1/4-Inch Tomato Knife

WMF 9-1/4-Inch Tomato KnifeUsed this implement at a friend's house and knew I had to have one! Don't know how it works, but this knife produces perfect, uniform tomato slices with very little pressure and no tearing of the peeling. The slices are the same width at top and bottom, and the knife can also be used for slicing other soft/semi-soft fruits and veggies. Well worth the price buy one for you and one for a gift and get free shipping!

Great knife for my collection. Works on the most tender of tamato's and then scoops them up very easily without ripping it apart.

After reading the reviews I decided to give this knife a try. Works really good for slicing tomatoes. You can also lifT a tomato slice with the end of the knife and slide it off onto your plate or bread. It's also excellent for spreading the mayonnaise on the bread when making BLTs or even just a tomato sandwich. I'm purchasing another for a Christmas Gift.

Gourmet Settings Stainless-Steel Steak Knives, Set of 4

Gourmet Settings Stainless-Steel Steak Knives, Set of 4So glad I bought these. They are sharp, and the brushed nickel finish looks great. Love that they're dishwasher safe, unlike many other steak knives.

Not too heavy, not too light, these knives are elegant and sturdy perfect for entertaining or every day use. Dishwasher-safe was a key selling point for me, and Gourmet Settings is true to their word. All their cutlery is awesome, and customer service (whom I contacted for replacement pieces) was excellent! Will not hesitate to purchase any Gourmet Settings product!

I got these to replace a set of knives that had become dull and no longer would hold an edge. What appealed to me about these knives was that they were stainless steel and dishwasher safe. I took off one star because one of the four knives arrived dull. Something wrong with the way the serrations were cut. Additionally one star was removed because the instructions that came with the set states that you must remove the knives from the dishwasher prior to the final rinse cycle. Now, if something is dishwasher safe, that means to me that it can withstand a complete dishwasher cleaning/rinsing/drying cycle. Not these.

The three sharp remaining knives are good and sharp and I have no problem with their performance as knives. Had I not thrown away the packing materials, I would probably have exchanged the set I received for another one.

Update 5/30/13. A second knife in the set has now gone dull. The remaining pair have been put into storage and a replacement set has been ordered. Although from a different manufacturer.

Wusthof 5-in. Gourmet Fork-Tip Tomato Knife.

Wusthof 5-in. Gourmet Fork-Tip Tomato Knife.This is the best knife and a must have for any kitchen. I not only use it for tomatoes...I use it for everything. A very sharp knife and one of my favorites. I love the tip as well. We have owned ours for several years and love it.

Very sharp serrated blade out of the cardboard sheath. Not flimsy. Two pronged very sharp, pointy fork tip useful for moving sliced/chopped items around (into a bowl; off the cutting board). Blade is easily made razor/hair shaving sharp with a ceramic steel.

I have 2 Wustof Santoku knives: gifts from family. This tomato knife is of similar quality except for the cheap red sticker. Cuts through tomatoes effortlessly; as well as melon, strawberries, peppers, etc... (you get the idea. the blade is very sharp )

The knife itself is excellent, but to earn 5 stars for a $30 tomato knife, leave the sticker off and laser brand/imprint the handle or leave it off entirely. The blade is marked indelibly; no reason to cheapen it with a tacky red sticker that is starting to peel on the handle.

I was on a knife purchasing kick and ordered the block set of Wustof Gourmet knives, so I decided to purchase this tomatoes knife since I eat a lot of tomatoes and really just liked the idea of it. It's a good knife, it's sharp, and it cuts tomatoes well. I just don't know if it's necessary to have a separate knife for tomatoes because it does not do any different or better of a job than the Santuku knife that I purchased. Again, it is a good knife and does the job well, it just depends on if you have a need or want for a separate tomato knife. If you already have a knife that cuts tomatoes well I don't think this does any different or better of a job. Good knife, not necessarily necessary!!

I bought this knife to use at my mom's when I visit each month. She has a set of Cutco knives that I find really difficult to use. This knife has the basic shape I need to get chopping & slicing tasks done. It is sharp, but the balance is a bit off for me. However, for $15 it is decent & because it isn't a knife I use daily, it's acceptable.

Farberware Classic Paring Knives, Mixed Colors, Set of 4

Farberware Classic Paring Knives, Mixed Colors, Set of 4Wish I had known the dimensions of these tiny paring knives before purchasing they are too tiny for my average-sized (female) hands to use for much of anything and the blade is so thin it can't handle cutting with any force.Here are the dimensions to help in your decision:

Handle: 3.5 in. long and 0.75 in. wide at widest part

Blade: a whopping 2.25 in. long and less than 0.5 in. wide.

Unless you have petite hands I'd skip it.

not as sharp as I hoped they would be for quikcut knives. My old quickcut knives are sharper. too bad.

Arthur Court Grape 5-Piece 20-Inch by 13-Inch Entertainment Tray

Arthur Court Grape 5-Piece 20-Inch by 13-Inch Entertainment TrayA little pricey? Yes. But I've got lots of Arthur Court pieces and first, they are easy to care for. Hand wash and dry. No polishing required. Second, they are metal so they can stand up to a little abuse...you don't have to worry about it cracking or chipping if you accidentally set it down too hard. This Grape Entertainment Tray is definitely one of my favorite pieces, and I guarantee it will be used more than any other tray I have. It comes apart so it's easy to clean. You can have two kinds of dip, or if you prefer cubed cheese, ham or turkey thanks to the two bowls that hook onto the sides...and they stay in place ! And there is also the plateau in the center for a block of cheese. There is plenty of room left over for crackers, sliced pita bread, or party bread. This platter is TO DIE FOR! Matter of fact, I'd like to have a second. Buy it..you will NOT be disappointed. It is a beautiful work of art that you can use every day.

KitchenAid Ceramic 3-Inch Parer with Sheath, BlackI purchased this knife because it was supposed to be ceramic with a sharp point. The ad showed a picture with a sharp point on the knife.

I will not be returning the knife because I will not pay shipping to return it and have nothing to show for my money. It would be nice if advertisers would show accurate pictures of their products or at least provide a complete accurate description .

Epicurean Gourmet Utensils Nylon Pasta Server, Natural with BlackI search high and low for kitchen products that are made in the USA and not some country with scandals about iffy quality control in the materials that food handling items are made.

I was happy to see that this spoon works great for lifting home-made noodles out of boiling broth. We use it every time we make noodles.

I wanted to replace my ancient white nylon pasta scoop with something better looking. Yes, this is much nicer looking but isn't worth $1, let alone $10! The scoop is big and wide. It is so awkward to use and it really doesn't pick up the pasta it spills over. Glad I didn't ditch my old server.

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Cermax 7-Inch Santoku Knife, Black

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Cermax 7-Inch Santoku Knife, BlackThis is possibly the best Santoku knife you can buy, unless you are willing to consider one of the (really expensive and non-stainless) high-end Japanese knives. These will stain and even rust if you don't take good care of them (i.e. dry and oil them after each use), whereas the Cermax will not.

My husband is a great chef and he is extremely happy with this knife. The quality of it is very strong and sturdy, plus the blade is super sharp and keeps a great edge! A sharpening steel has keep it like brand new sharp when needed! Would highly recommend this knife to anyone who is tired of having dull knives in their kitchen.

I have a Henckles 5 Star Santoku and this is several classes better. The steel is ZPD-189 which is a new super steel that can get to a hardness of 67-69 vs about 58 for the 5 star. That means it can hold a much steeper angle and therefore be sharper, it will stay sharp longer too. It's difficult to sharpen but not impossible. The handle for me is comfortable. The only negative is you can get the Miyabi 700MC a lot cheaper. It is the same blade (owned my Henckles, makes the blade for this Twin Cermax) with a different handle.

We have always been a fan of Henckel knives. When my husbands birthday was coming around I knew I wnated to get him a new knife. I started looking at new Henckels and found this one I am glad I did. I have never used a knife in my own home that is this sharp, easy to hold, and balanced. I can barely keep it clean because we are using it all of the time.
