This is so exciting! My five year plan of outfitting my kitchen with a set of your works of functional art just might be realized!

Final Fantasy Knife Set from Super Fan Builds. They don't look very ergonomic for actual use, but I still want it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qm6m8TEyfcc

Better suggestions can be made depending on your intended usage, style preferences, and past experiences. Spydercos are initially off-putting because of the concessions made for the opening hole, and the generally funky handles. Like all knives/tools, they should be judged in hand if...

Spyderco Para-Military2 Black S30v - these have been sold out everywhere, or cost >$200. Stumbled upon a used one off kijiji for $80 CAD from the original owner =D It was somewhat dull from use, so I tried out my nascent sharpening skills. I tried thinning behind the edge to bring the angle down...

The What Knife Should I Buy questionnaire is pretty solid, but definitely geared towards a more knowledgeable crowd. There is room for paring it down the number of questions, sectioning it off into critical need-to-knows (set the bevel), and refining questions (polish your edge). Fewer...

I shy away from slotted knife blocks -- hard to clean if anything gets caught in there. They make for nice enclosed damp environments. An alternative design I've been kicking around, which will require more woodworking than a flat block would be something like a blocky comb. Each 'tooth'...

Very interested in seeing how this one looks in the end.

I considered suggesting this too, but then there is the potential for pulling off the entire rack, unless it is sleeved in, in which case there is no need to spend on extra magnets. I've heard of Ikea-hacks where people just glued two racks together magnet-side out and magnetically mount the...

Ultimately, I would like to fill my future kitchen with your knives and accessories! I second/third the idea of your maker's mark on the side edge (brass coin or burn-in) of both the board and magnet block. A hidden mount with some sort of easy-to-remove-and-clean feature would be my...

As a complete newb to the world of knife maintenance and the concept of stropping, this kit looks elegantly designed (replaceable strops! on magnets!) and the price, compared to those fancy straight-razor belt strops, looks to be great value. The sense I'm getting from the marketing copy, in...

I currently have a Henckels Twin Signature set: Bread knife, 100mm paring, 150mm utility, 180mm santoku; as well as a 210mm Global G-2 (gyuto). My plan is to learn to use what I have to the best of my ability, and learn to sharpen on these softer Western steels. I have read here that the...

Thank you all for your kind welcome! You did indeed. Thanks, Zwiefel! That's a lot of solid information to digest!

Hello KKF As a nominal home cook (more like can opener/microwaver), my first taste of "high-end" kitchen knives occurred while researching what knives to list on my wedding gift registry. Needless to say, once I started using knives that were actually sharp, the knuttiness quickly set in and...
