Knives and Sharpening

Big reduction on these knives, look ok

None of them avaialble online :neutral_face:

Ahh, no doubt the stores with stock are shut ā€¦

The shops may be open in some tiers but maybe surprisingly there arenā€™t many JL stores in the SE.
A bit irrelevant as we are tier 4 anyway!

Any carving knife recs please? Mine has given up the ghost. Up to Ā£150 ish :relieved:

save the money, buy a robert Welch one for forty quid, with the change grab a global chef in the sale and still have enough for a bottle of wine :ok_hand:

Thanks all for the generally sensible advice :flushed: and Rob for the specific recommendation - at Ā£48 whatā€™s not to like? Plus, rest of Invest goes into top quality chefs knife (Iā€™ve got a few already but moar is fine)

It is a bit of a shock when that happens on here :grinning:

Fun fact: my mother went to school with Robert Welch.

We have a vast amount of the cutlery because of this tenuous connection, but no genuinely useful carving knives etc. :neutral_face:

This looks pretty much the same set we have, although ours were individual knives and we have a Santoku which probably gets used the most.
I like the knives although I find the grip jsut a little too small, although the wife finds them spot on.

A Robert Welch Sig is an excellent callā€¦fully forged through the tang with good quality steel
Ideally sharpen with a stone due to the profile of the cutting edge

A left field consideration might be a Global G-19 Filleting knife with a flexible 27cm blade

We were going to give my sister a particular utility knife sheā€™d chosen for Christmas but a, the only stockist doesnā€™t seem to be able to supply them and b, reviews suggest this brand may not be that good.

It was a Satake No Vac all round utility knife (17cm)

Any suggestions of alternatives at up to or around Ā£50 ?

Not as pretty, but the 17cm Victorinox santoku I got a few weeks back is a lovely bit of kit - I use it for almost every single cut I make in the kitchen, itā€™s quite light and wieldy, sharpens really well and holds its edge well. I got the dishwashable plastic-handled version (under Ā£40) but thereā€™s a fancypants rosewood handled version for a chunk more that might yield to discount codes or summat somewhere:

way nicer in the hand than the Robert Welch it replaced.
