I want to start cooking more fish, but my knives are all terrible and not up to the task of filleting. Are there any good, relatively cheap knives anyone recommends?

Well, that would have saved me a bit of money, having just purchased that stuff last week.

But cutting through the wishbone is pretty easy anyway, if you want to.

I just cut myself a few days ago for the first time in at least 5 years. I was doing something dumb while cutting up some onions and made a little 2mm skin flap in my index finger.

Don't ceramic rods work by sharpening rather than straightening the edge anyway?

I can bring my Victorinox chef's knife back to reasonably sharp with just a few minutes on my ceramic rod. I don't have any other method of sharpening right now but it works ok.

How does it cause problems? What sort of problems are you talking about?

I bought one last fall for a little less than $35. That's not a bad price for that knife, I think.

How would you do a convex grind at home? Rotate the blade as you move it across the stone?

I've caught roommates using my chef knife to bash a block of cheese against the counter, because they didn't know that bigger blade = harder job. Either way, it's the reason you get a security deposit.  Nice reply to a 27 month old post

You should try a recently sharpened knife. You maybe just forgot what using one of those is like? No knife holds a good edge for 5 years.

My Victorinox Fibrox chef's knife can slice tomatoes without smushing them and I sharpen it 2-3x per year and steel it after use. It cost me $35 I think?

I just ordered my first Japanese knife, which is also my first carbon steel knife. It's a Hiromoto petty knife, aogami super steel with stainless cladding. I hope I like it.

Oldsrocket_27 posted:He's not wrong about it being the "everyone who has a question should just get a torijro" thread, but go ahead and pretend his occasional misunderstanding regarding an unrelated question invalidates anything else he says, clearly it's a helpful and informative position to take. I'm not saying that, I just think it's funny he keeps getting confused.
