I got given some expensive pro knives, couldn't use them, too heavy and too thick, I was going to lose a finger for FFS. I just use the cheaper ones know.
I don't really use a B&M set mate. To heavy and thick? Mine are super lightweight, but admit i've cut myself several times, just a slight error, and there's the blood. Actually, i could do with a few re sharpening, but don't know anywhere i can trust.
you don’t need expensive knives, you need a sharp knife with some weight however. More danger cutting yourself with a knife that isn’t correctly sharpened (blunt)
Sorry my sense of humour, but he's an ex Marine with a knife set, and you're telling him to buy a wetstone.
What i'd like to see, is someone do a Char Sui (chinese), Moo Dang (thai). Basically when you get a special chow mein etc, you always get that red pork, that is so good.
You have to marinate it for a while, if you can find the mix. .But must be available as every chinky/thai does it. Red pork, if no one does it, that's my challenge during my time off.
yet cut yourself. What they teach you in the marines? If you cut yourself with you knife, maybe an ex marine is the best for you, god help you with guns.....
