with my new arrivals, I am pondering how where to dispose of old knives? I assume the local waste place, has a place for them?

Iā€™ll have you knowā€¦etc etc. :wink:

Iā€™m going to see if that bread knife is in our local one today. :+1:

Ours just take them in with general metal waste.

Are the Miyabi knives good Jim? Iā€™ve been eying them for a while.

The little one at the bottom of the picā€¦

Miyabi, miyabi not.

Yes, Iā€™m banning myself.

Excellent Matt. They have a great balance in the hand and the edge that can be obtained is superb - far better than the IO Shen.

I knew if I kept working at it, youā€™d succumb in the endā€¦:rofl::rofl:

Iā€™ve done them all 5 times over in my head before you post them.

Itā€™s 4d puns over here.

I would recommend finding somewhere to try them in the hand first. I went here (in London) https://www.japaneseknifecompany.com/knives/shop-by/knife-brands/miyabi.html

with a view to buying one as I set my heart on it, but found the handle very uncomfortable to hold, and the action didnā€™t feel right.

For everyday cooks knives, I have 4 Lion Sabatier that I bought about 15 years ago. They all sharpen nicely, they are excellent knives, and just do the job without me worrying about bashing them about a bit.

The designer of this knife is an obvious shoe thread lurker

The Vertoku site also offers these


A purposeful looking thing akin to Dr. Martens Chukka boot?

The bottom pic looks very like my Chinese chefā€™s knife.

Various Henckels Twin Fin which I guess was their attempt to appeal to the Global knife market. I got them for peanuts on Amazon about 7 years ago.

The other is a 33 layer Japanese Damascus steel knife which cost about Ā£100 - sharp is not the word.
