thanks for the suggestion and the welcome Dave! How is this line compared to dexter or victorinox? My team currently uses cheap "
update" brand chef knives and the major complaints are comfort along with getting dull too quickly. I generally use simple vg10/aebl knives at home and i find them easy to manipulate on the stone and the only stamped knife Ive ever used is the victorinox fibrox and it actually wasnt bad.
The issue is my guys will be banging on these 8-9 hours a day (cutting mostly romaine and some other veggies) and the only way to sharpen is with one of those electric ones.
My budget is around $30-40 per knife, but it really just has to be comfortable and hold an edge well. These "update" knives are horrible!
