It'll make sense, eventually.
I'm moving to my own small (well, microscopic) flat, so the days of stealing eeryone's knives are over. Thanks to this thread, i chose to get myself a proper knife (I went with Tojiro DP) and :aaaaa: cutting things never felt so good.

Thanks, thread!

I wanted to get a CCK Small Cleaver on christmas, but shipping from chef's knives to go to my country is a bit eeeeh and I don't really see it available in other places. Could somebody point me to a nice alternative?

All you guys talkin' poo poo about Victorinox need to learn about this little fella (5.0831):



It looks like a chinese knock-off and it costs about five bucks, so why am I even posting about it in the knife porn thread? Because it's the best five bucks one can spend (though you probably want to buy a box of them and gift to everyone). Despite looking awkward, with teeth and all, it turns out to be extremely handy at cutting literally everything you don't feel like bothering with a chef's knife. It also doubles nicely as a table-knife. And you can abuse it to no end, since it costs only five bucks.

It's especially cool as a cheap little gift to force on family and gbsfoods-style friends. At first they look at you funny because why should they care about a knife, especially such a little piece of poo poo? Then they spend the next month cutting their fingernails off and come to respect the little fucker and love it. Some gbsfoods kitchens I gifted this to ceased using other knives at all.

It might not be on par with fancy japanese knives, but it's just so. incredibly. loving. handy and cheap. It should become the Kalashnikov of the world of knives.
