Hi guys, thanks for the welcome!
I live just south of Oklahoma City
LOL, well... The thousands have already spent on my personal knife collection. The wife let's me do what I want with my hobbies, but if I were to even suggest that we spend that much on a set of knives for HER kitchen..... She would have kittens!
I know that whatever I end up getting will have to come in a block, and will all have to be the same brand/handle style. What I have now is made out of 'Mystery Metal', (won't hold an edge for hardly ANY time) and I'm wanting to get something with higher performance steel.
Any recommendations would be appreciated, but I really don't want to come off as a total noob asking silly questions. I know that many forums want new folks to use the search functions first before blasting a bunch of questions. I've got a fairly good understanding of knife steel, but mainly as it pertains to folders and general purpose knives. Kitchen cutlery is still a total mystery to me. I'm starting at square one, and will be doing ALOT of reading.
Cheers!
Kris
