Knives
-
I just wanted to start a thread where people can post all about knives. What brands and styles are you using? What applications are best for certain styles in your opinion? Do you prefer a specific knife for every purpose or one knife that does it all? Fancy knives vs cheap knives? To kick things off I’m a bit of a collector. I love a knife designed for a specific purpose and using it for that job. I have used quite a few brands and prefer commercial workhorse style knives. I’m a HUGE fan of Victory knives. They are New Zealand made, have incredible blades and comfortable handles. As a bonus, they come in a bunch of great colors. My favorite knife (currently
) is the PJ Special skinning knife by Victory. Mine has a blue handle.
Deepwoodsbutcher my go to knife is Knives Of Alaska filet knife. I have a short and a long one. I dont fish much, but use them only for meat, they make great boning knives. Only draw back is if you lose the edge, you have to work to get it back. I keep a steel by me and touch them up alot when cutting and they seem to hold an edge

6” curved Victorinox for me any day. I think the more important thing is knowing how to sharpen one. I’ve seen a lot of people buy expensive knives and once they lose the factory edge they don’t know what to do.

For BBQ use (trimming/slicking briskets, trimming primals, etc) I mainly go for my mix of Victorinox/Dexter.
For cooking duties my wife loves the Masakage and MAC Mighty (Professional) though I still grab that Shun Santoku or really old German (can’t even remember which brand likely Henckels).

Once the knife fever catches you, you never get better

I don’t like to throw any knife away unless it’s gust a bad temper on the steel, then it’s useless. I have an old boneing knife that was my mother’s, the kind that will get a bit of rust if you clean an wipe with oil. Still as good an edge as any I’ve got.

Deepwoodsbutcher Just simple, high quality, nothing fancy. Granted, I probably use the plain Jane Chicago Cutlery the most, but also have some old Hickories & Dexters that are a joy to cut with & I can keep them very sharp, just have to keep them. Have a few Victorinoxs too that I really do not use much. They do keep a blade well though once you get them all set. I love an old high carbon steel knife with elk horn handle that my grandfather had made more than a century ago. It is fine & has beautiful balance, but someone I once knew broke the tang from the blade about 45 years ago & I have never been able to find anyone that could repair it, yet. I pretty much end up preferring an organic handle over synthetic, even though some of the synthetics do look nice. Just simple, high quality.

I was getting a brisket ready for smoking on Memorial Day. I used my Chicago Cutlery knife. I sharpened it beforehand but it just does not seem to cut like it used to. Any suggestions for a good knife to trim a brisket?
Ted Frodyma I use the BIG KNIFE for that. One of the very few with synthetic handles, but it works well & keeps an edge very well. I have had it for over 30 years. It is a Kaicut. I really like some of the Japanese products & have several of their saws, chisels, etc. Hard to afford though now adays.

Jonathon It is apparent from the popularity of this topic that the next giveaway should be a nice set of knives! You’re just the guy that can do it!
Ted Frodyma i think this already in the works. Or at least we have talked about it. They usually do a couple throughout the year.
