Kitchen Knives
I'm looking for some good kitchen/cooking knives for my wife. I was going to look at Cabela's to see what was available, but thought I would see if any of you kind gentlemen had any opinions.
We don't need a lot of knives, just 3 or 4 good ones that will cover cooking needs.

A couple good french knifes for chopping
a sharp boning knife and a couple paring blades
a bread knife & you'll be set for most chores.
We also have a Ginso type set that out performs the Cutco blades at every level.
Henchel are good and easily acquired at the mall stores.

A great set :

Agreed. Don't rely on the branding, though... check

the knife. Lots of the big stores sell Chinese-made junk that is branded with famous names.
Another good quality affordable line are the Victorinox-made Forschner.

carbon steal knives are razor sharp! I built a short skinner out if a carver and it sliced through the welt and stiching of a sheath the first week I carried it. I still have my dad's Chicago cutlerly and Old Hickory Butcher knives.

I have a couple Dexter filet knives that I think would work - if I could ever catch a fish!
I ordered some Dexter's - didn't go for the very top of the line models. I think my wife will be happy with them.
Thanks,
Rod M
My pleause, like Woody mentioned, keep them sharp!

Kitchen Knives

I like two brands of knives and both are made right here in Massachusetts. One company, Lamson and Goodnow is made in Shelburne Falls Massachusetts. They have a couple of factory stores and I bought some of their products for the kitchen on line as well as when taking a day trip to the Mohawk Trail area.
The other company, Dexter-Russell, is made in Southbridge Massachusetts where they have a factory store that is open on Thursday evening and Saturday morning. They have factory seconds where you can get some nice knives for two to three dollars.
