So I'm looking to replace a couple of kitchen knives. I currently have a Henkel set, I think it's the pro series with the twin stick figures on it. Anyway, my Santoku is worn down to the indents/dimples from sharpening and seems to be affecting sharpening it now. So I wanted to get a new one.
As I'm not dealing with just getting a set like I did last time, I'm not locked in on a brand, so I'm trying to figure out what the options are for replacing this knife. There are lots to choose from at all different price points. I want something quality that will be sharp right out of the box and keep an edge a long time. I don't want to break the bank either, but also don't need to cheap out.
I'm also considering replacing the chefs knife as the one I have has a couple small chips and I'm thinking of keeping this one for heavier use and getting another for finer stuff. I use the current chefs knife for everything from veggies to meat and on the grille. So it takes beating, which I don't mind, but would be nice to have one dedicated to the harder stuff.
So, looking for some input on which brands/model to get for each. 8" Chefs knife and 6-7" Santoku knife.
