Messermeister San Moritz Elite 5-Inch Rocking Knife
I only use a few select kitchen knives and needed a smaller one for everyday use. I chose this knife simply because it was well-rated and a good value. While it's marketed as an herb-knife, it has a wider range of uses. It is very sharp and good weight. I am very happy with it so far. Only comment minor is aesthetic : the silver rivet on the bottom/butt of the knife (shown in the picture) is only on ONE side of the knife. I find that to be quite odd and silly looking. I noticed since I hang my knives and now I can only hang this knife facing left. Still think it's a good knife and a great value.
SHarp out of box, it can cut alot more than just herbs, great all round short knife.

I just purchased the Elite 5" San Moritz Elite Knife to add to my Messermeister set. This is a type of 'rocker' knife used for preparing veggies and fruits. You must use such a knife on an appropriate cutting surface.I used to use Henkels but I have found the finer ergonomic design and higher metal quality of Messermeister to be more satisfactory. The Henkels has lost quality as it cuts quality chasing the mass market. Messermiester really pays attention to details and using them tells the difference. The Elite design is more contemporary and looks better to my eye than the usual two rivet design. There is an excellent selection of most all popular types of knives and accessories available. Amazon sells only some of them. The prices Amazon charges for the knives they do carry are about the lowest available. I received them very quickly. The Messermeisters stay sharp longer, do not stain and are very easy to clean. The factory printing does not wear off which keeps the cutlery looking fresh. Highly recommended.

Wusthof Ikon 6-Inch Straight Fork with Blackwood Handle
Probably not suitable for taking in hand luggage to a thanksgiving dinner.Wickedly sharp tongs, be careful what you're doing. Unlike some other meat forks with nice curves, this one will fit into your knife block, right alongside a carving knife.
Other than that, does what it is supposed to do. Left handed, or right handed. It might work out for a vegetarian for holding tofu, but I can't really say. ;)
Happy Carving !
Forever Sharp Platinum Series 8 Pc Surgical Stainless Steel Knives
Immediately upon opening the box, I noticed that only one of the knives even had an edge. The knives without an edge could not cut through bread, a tomato, a pepper, etc. The one knife with an edge performed adequately, but no more. It would make it through crusted bread if there was sufficient back and forth action used. The knives are light weight and the blades are thin. I tried to contact the manufacturer to see if I simply had received a bad set that had escaped their quality control. No response. I returned the set.

And definitely not 'Surgical Stainless Steel'. Not only are these knives dull as dirt, they rust. Surgical stainless should not rust.

The paring knife is pretty sweet. I love that it's constructed from a a seamless single piece of steelit just feels very good in my hand. This is admittedly a crappy consumer set of knives that most people will never bother to sharpen because they have no idea how or only a useless honing steel. I keep one in my knife roll for it's unmistakable flashy looks knowing that if it one day went missing, I would not be too sad.Want Forever Sharp Platinum Series 8 Pc Surgical Stainless Steel Knives Discount?
My wife got this little paring knife as a freebee at a demo in one of the big box stores. It is NOT the Platinum series but rather one labeled Surgical Stainless Steel. I must admit it is sharp, but we have only had it about two months at this point and time will only tell how it will hold up. Problem is, it is rusting and or pitting. I must admit someone, most likely me, did put it away with some left over chocolate on it, but why a stainless steel blade would pit from chocolate is unknown to me. So, that said, I have my doubts this is actually Stainless Steel and I am not aware of Surgical Stainless Steel rusting, but then again I am not a surgeon. As always "buyer beware".
Epicurean Recycled Cardboard Cutting Board
I love this cutting board because it is lightweight, dishwasher-safe, made from recycled cardboard & not a bad price. This size is great when I'm making a salad or a dish with lots of veggies. It seems like a very durable product that will last for years in my kitchen, I'm glad I bought it.

Dexter-Russell (S112-12H) - 12" Fish Splitter - Sani-Safe Series
This blade is huge. It is called a fish splitter but I think it can be used to cut poultry as well. Could not find any reviews on this online though. It has some weight as well.
UPDATE: I picked up the 8" version of this knife for in the motorhome and subsequently bought a second for home too. The 8" has a better balance for general kitchen use and has now become my favorite home knife.
I do suggest you pick up one of these cheap sharpeners to keep the edge razor sharp.

My partner and I already have this utility knife, however, the fact of the matter is that you can never have too many of them. My sweetheart does most of the cooking and I do most of the prepping. We are constantly cutting and cleaning this knife throughout the cooking process and so I am getting her a brand new one for Christmas (so she no longer has to share)! I recommend this knife to anyone serious about cooking. It sharpens perfectly and its comfortable handle makes mincing and chopping a sinch!Read Best Reviews of Pampered Chef 5" Utility Knife #1052 Here

Montana Knife 4-Piece Paring Knife Set with Colored Poly Handles
This is a nice paring knife set, I bought them for fellow workers in a dinning facility in afganistan. The colors are nice so people can keep track of which one is theres or if you want to cordinate colors to certain foods like meat or vegtables. These knives are fairly sharp but if ussed a lot will need to be sharpend. I wish they came with sheaths so one could keep them in your pocket, but the price is right. I also do a lot of garnishing and carving art with fruit, these knives blades are a little to wide and the points not defined/pointy enough for detail carving. That said they work great for regular slicing of vegitables and fruits. Overall a great deal

Fruit Knife With Fork
I like the large size, the serrated blade, and how it's stainless steel. I am very happy with my purchase.
Although Amazon lists it as currently unavailable, it is still in production and can be obtained elsewhere.
Do a Google® search for "fruit knife with fork" and you will probably be able to find it. I did.It is ok for the price and a good piece for picnics and tailgating.--I like the handle and how slender the knife is, but if the blade was longer and made with better steel I would have given it a better rating.
Winco 12-Inch Fine/Grain Knife Sharpening Stone, Medium
First of all, this is a big stone. It's 12 inches long and it weighs over 3 lbs. It is not a natural stone. I like to use oil on a stone, and this stone soaked up an enormous amount of oil. Don't use sharpening oil; use 2 cycle motor oil, the kind that is mixed with gasoline. I don't think water would work to keep this stone from clogging up. All that being said, it does what you would expect: it puts a pretty good edge on a large knife without too much work. It's a pretty soft stone so it's hard to say how long it will last before it losses its flat surface. Knives sharpened on this stone need a few strokes on a finer grit natural stone to finish the job. No instructions included.
This 12" non-natural stone is ideal for replacing an edge on your cutlery or sharpening tools such as axes or pruning sheers. It can be used with oil, if you use it, plan to use it, or even would ever consider using it on a piece of cutlery that MIGHT contact food, DO NOT USE INDUSTRIAL OILS! ONLY USE FOOD GRADE MINERAL OIL. It can also be used with water very well, adding a few drops of household dish detergent to the water will help it stay with the stone and reduce some friction as well as aid in keeping the stone clean/free of metal particles. Out of the box, the stone should be "dressed", this can be done with a dressing stone or with the blade of some old tool... ax, lawn mower blade, etc. before using it on an expensive knife.
This stone cuts quickly and is ideal for the ultra-wear-resistant German stainless steel used to produce some of the worlds most renowned cutlery, Wusthof, Henckel, etc and will allow you to repair and resharpen your knives quickly. I would avoid this stone for use with any knife of Japanese make, the steel such knives are made from is very susceptible to wear and should not be sharpened on *whet* stones any courser than 750 grit, the grit of this stone is improvidently 80/150grit.
Pros:
1) Large at 12" long
2) Hard, very slow to wear, with proper care, the average person will get a few lifetimes out of this stone.
3) Easy to clean and maintain.
4) Consistent, even texture through out the stone.
5) Heavy... it makes a great paperweight when dry and not in use...
Cons:
1) Does not fit in most stone holders.
Bottom line, I would recommend this stone to anyone who knows how to use a sharpening stone to sharpen knives/tools and the difference between sharpening German and Japanese knives, for your German knives and many of your tools, this will not disappoint you.
Buy Winco 12-Inch Fine/Grain Knife Sharpening Stone, Medium Now
I have several abused knives with terrible edges on them, and this stone is exactly what I needed. The stone I received is grey and black and marked Winco #83, not purple like the one pictured. The black side is very coarse for removing a lot of metal quickly. The grey side is medium, not what I would call fine.After some practice with a couple junk knives, I was able to restore a proper bevel to the edge of my kitchen and pocket knives. Then all it took was a little finishing with my hard Arkansas stone to put a sharp edge on them.
I would not buy this as your only stone, as the "fine" side is not fine enough for finishing. However, the size made it easy for a novice sharpener like myself to get a good bevel. Buy this stone, and another fine one for finishing, and you will be set.
Final thought: This thing is a sponge, and will absorb a ton of water. I definitely would not use oil on it.
Read Best Reviews of Winco 12-Inch Fine/Grain Knife Sharpening Stone, Medium Here
This sharpening stone is 2 sided, coarse and medium. This stone is great for yard tools and very beat up blades, but I found even the finer side to be to coarse to put fine cutting edge for my kitchen knives. It will quickly fix a damaged edge but after using this you need to use a finer stone or a good stop to get a really sharp edge.This stone arrived well packaged and on time.

Overall this is an ok product. I received it with very great service (shipping and handling, speed of delivery). When I opened the package, the first thing that I noticed were bumps on each side of the stone. These can be shaven off. I suggest not to use the blade that you are trying to sharpen.Save 11% Off

My husband is a sushi chef and I bought 2 knives, shiroko kasumi yanagi and hammered damascus J chef knife gyuto, for him. I didnt know about a Japanese knife so I read all reviews. I thought my purchase was great and still I think so.They are great knives for the price.
I ordered them on Saturday and received them on Wednesday. What a great shipping!
When I opened the UPS box, they wrapped with a paper wrap and a box each. Super Duper safety!
I love their cares for the knife.
At the first day of using them at the Restaurant, as my husband words, the knives were really sharp, strong, and super duper great!
He said they were well balanced and nice shaped knives and shiroko kasumi yanagi was good as the same as his masamoto VG10. Also they look gorgeous and fancy. Anyway, I'd like to recommend them to everyone especially a sushi chef.This knife just came in and I started using it right away. Beatiful sashimi, clean and neat. I haven't had it long enough to sharpen, but will right another review in about a couple of weeks.I work in a sushi restaurant and asked for recommendations from the other sushi chef. They all pointed me in the direction of $300-$900 knives. Not willing to spend that amount of money, I found this knife. They were impressed that I was about to purchase a knife at this quality for the price. Now, my knife, is the envy of the other sushi chefs at work. The knife came with a beautiful case, a small bottle of oil (for preventing rust), and detailed care instructions. I will be buying more knives from this company.

I waited a little while before reviewing these to see how they'd hold up after a bunch of times through the dishwasher. They've been washed quite a bit and still look brand new! They have a nice feel to them and they aren't to heavy or bulky. The knives have a little bit of a sharp point to them that can be a little tricky if your spreading jam and peanut butter but once you get used to it it's not a problem. These will last a long time and stay shiny due to be 18/10.

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Signature 8-Inch Carving Knife
After many years of using lower ended knifes. We decided to get better knifes. We have heard of Henckels but was quite confused because that are many lines of Henckels. After doing many research, we discovered that there are low-ended Henckels that are made by many countries such as China, Thailand, Spain which are normally listed as "Henckels International". So we decided to paid a bit more for knifes that made from its origin (i.e., Germany). We received our knifes and love them. They are extremely sharp. Hopefully, they will remain sharps through out the years.
